Conversion from IP string to integer, and backward in Python

Question

i have a little problem with my script, where i need to convert ip in form \'xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx\' to integer representation and go back from this form.

def ipto         


        

Answer 1

I used following:

ip2int = lambda ip: reduce(lambda a,b: long(a)*256 + long(b), ip.split('.'))

ip2int('192.168.1.1')

#output

3232235777L

# from int to ip
int2ip = lambda num: '.'.join( [ str((num >> 8*i) % 256)  for i in [3,2,1,0] ])

int2ip(3232235777L)

#output

'192.168.1.1'
