A close sibling is ipaddress.ip_network(), which creates an IPv4Network or IPv6Network object from an IP network string. A close sibling is ipaddress.ip_interface(), which creates an IPv4Interface or IPv6Interface (host with network). A close sibling is IPv4Address.is_private, which returns True if the address is in a private IP range.
