[New-bugs-announce] [issue29890] Constructor of ipaddress.IPv*Interface does not follow documentation

[Ilya Kulakov]

New submission from Ilya Kulakov:

As per documentation, it should understand the same arguments as IPv*Network.

Unfortunately it does not recognize netmask in string form. Hence the following code will fail:

    ipaddress.ip_interface(('192.168.1.10', '255.255.255.0'))

while the following will work:

    ipaddress.ip_network(('192.168.1.10', '255.255.255.0'), strict=False)
