.. class:: BaseIP()
A generic IP address object. This base class defines the API and contains
common code. Most authors should either use the :func:`IP` function or
- create :class:`IPv4` or :class:`IPv6` objects directly rather than using
- this base class.

IP address objects support the following python operators:
``=``, ``!=``, ``<``, ``>``, ``<=``, ``>=``, and ``in``.
- An IP address object may be used as a sequence index or as a hash key
- and can be converted back to an integer representation using ``int()``.
- It may also be used as a sequence that yeilds the string
- representation of every IP address within the object's subnet.
