inet_addr() in Python

[brad]

Does Python have an equivalent to C's inet_addr()?

Thanks,
Brad

socket.inet_aton() produces a four-byte string you can pass as a struct
in_addr, if that's what you are looking for. If you want a number then
use the struct module to manipulate it further.

>>s.inet_aton('127.0.0.1')

'\x7f\x00\x00\x01'

Steve
