trouble is when I use this, I get
struct.error: unpack str size does not match format
I thought ip addresses were unsigned 32 bit integers.
Is there a better way to take a dotted quad and convert it to a string
representation of an long int?
Works for me:
> >>import socket
import struct
ip = "127.0.0.1"
struct.unpack('L',socket.inet_aton(ip))[0]
2130706433L
I really wish it worked for me:
>>>struct.unpack('L', socket.inet_aton('129.219.120.129'))
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "<stdin>", line 1, in ?
struct.error: unpack str size does not match format
This is python packaged with Suse 9.3.
>>>dir(struct)
['__doc__', '__file__', '__name__', 'calcsize', 'error', 'pack', 'unpack']
>>>print struct.__file__
/usr/lib64/python2.4/lib-dynload/struct.so
could I have a broken python?

I played around with format size and here are some results. (they don't make
sense)
>>ip1 = '123.254.254.252'
import socket
import struct
ip1s = socket.inet_aton(ip1)
struct.unpack('L',ip1s)
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "<stdin>", line 1, in ?
struct.error: unpack str size does not match format

So, ip1s really should be a long unsigned int.. but it doesn't decode as
that. Is this the way to interpret this?
