IPAddress constructor - integer values.

{{{

>>> IPAddress(1)
IPAddress('0.0.0.1')

>>> IPAddress(1, 4)
IPAddress('0.0.0.1')

>>> IPAddress(1, 6)
IPAddress('::1')

>>> IPAddress(10)
IPAddress('0.0.0.10')

>>> IPAddress(0x1ffffffff)
IPAddress('::1:ffff:ffff')

>>> IPAddress(0xffffffff, 6)
IPAddress('::255.255.255.255')

>>> IPAddress(0x1ffffffff)
IPAddress('::1:ffff:ffff')

>>> IPAddress(2 ** 128 - 1)
IPAddress('ffff:ffff:ffff:ffff:ffff:ffff:ffff:ffff')

IPAddress constructor - IPv4 inet_aton behaviour (default).

{{{

#	Hexadecimal octets.

IPAddress constructor - zero filled octets.

IP network construction.
