+A pure Python network address representation and manipulation library.
+
+netaddr provides a Pythonic way of working with :-
+- IPv4 and IPv6 addresses and subnets
+- MAC addresses, OUI and IAB identifiers, IEEE EUI-64 identifiers
+- arbitrary (non-aligned) IP address ranges and IP address sets
+- various non-CIDR IP range formats such as nmap and glob-style formats
+
+The source package includes (now out of date) data from:
+1. http://standards.ieee.org (public OUI and IAB registration data
+published by the IEEE)
+2. http://www.iana.org (IPv4, IPv6 and multicast address space
+allocations).
+
+To include the latest versions in the package, run the script with:
+
+# NEWDATA="yes" ./python-netaddr.SlackBuild
+
+and the latest versions will be downloaded for inclusion in the package.
