ipaddress - IPv4/IPv6 Manipulation Library

The `ipaddress` module provides comprehensive tools for creating, manipulating, and operating on IPv4 and IPv6 addresses and networks. It is part of the Python 3 standard library (since Python 3.3) and available as a backport on PyPI for older Python versions. It simplifies common networking tasks such as IP address and network validation, subnetting, network relationship checks, and host enumeration.
