How can I check if an ip is in a network in Python?

by

Using ipaddress (in the stdlib since 3.3, at PyPi for 2.6/2.7):

>>> import ipaddress
>>> ipaddress.ip_address('192.168.0.1') in ipaddress.ip_network('192.168.0.0/24')
True

If you want to evaluate a lot of IP addresses this way, you’ll probably want to calculate the netmask upfront, like

n = ipaddress.ip_network('192.0.0.0/16')
netw = int(n.network_address)
mask = int(n.netmask)

Then, for each address, calculate the binary representation with one of

a = int(ipaddress.ip_address('192.0.43.10'))
a = struct.unpack('!I', socket.inet_pton(socket.AF_INET, '192.0.43.10'))[0]
a = struct.unpack('!I', socket.inet_aton('192.0.43.10'))[0]  # IPv4 only

Finally, you can simply check:

in_network = (a & mask) == netw
