NetworkAddress
NetworkAddress(addr, port=0, family=PR_AF_INET)
If addr argument is a string it may be either a numeric address or a
DNS host name and is passed to the AddrInfo constructor along with
the family parameter. The first address in the AddrInfo object is
selected. If you need more fine grained control over which address is
selected from the AddrInfo object then invoke AddrInfo and select
one of the NetworkAddress it provides.
If the addr argument is an integer it may be one of the following constants:
- PR_IpAddrNull
- Do not set the IP address, only set the port.
NetworkAddress(PR_IpAddrNull, 123) is equivalent to NetworkAddress(port=123)
- PR_IpAddrAny
- Assign logical PR_INADDR_ANY to IP address. This wildcard value is typically
used to establish a socket on which to listen for incoming connection requests.
- PR_IpAddrLoopback
- Assign logical PR_INADDR_LOOPBACK. A client can use this value to connect to
itself without knowing the host's network address.
- PR_IpAddrV4Mapped
- Use IPv4 mapped address
The optional port argument sets the port number in the NetworkAddress object.
The port number may be modfied later by assigning to the port attribute.
Example:
netaddr = nss.io.NetworkAddress('www.python.org')
print '%s %s' % (netaddr, netaddr.hostname)
netaddr = nss.io.NetworkAddress('82.94.237.218')
print '%s %s' % (netaddr, netaddr.hostname)
Output:
82.94.237.218:0 www.python.org
82.94.237.218:0 dinsdale.python.org

Reinitializes the NetworkAddress object given a string.
Identical to constructing nss.io.NetworkAddress() with a
string value (see NetworkAddress constructor for documentation).
WARNING: NetworkAddress initialization from a string only works with IPv4
and its use should be considered deprecated. Use AddrInfo instead.
- Parameters:
addr (string) - the address string to convertfamily (integer) -
- one of:
- PR_AF_INET
- PR_AF_INET6
- PR_AF_UNSPEC
