Tuned IPAddressField with IPv4 & IPv6 support using Postgres Network Field type

I wanted to store ipv4 and ipv6 ip's in django but I wanted to use the postgresql inet network field type: http://www.postgresql.org/docs/8.3/static/datatype-net-types.html and I wanted to use IPy.py IP objects in python. I followed these very helpful examples along with the django documentation: http://vaig.be/2009/03/numeric-ip-field-for-django.html http://www.djangosnippets.org/snippets/1381/ It took me awhile to figure out how this works (not that I completely understand it now..) and figured I would share it. If anyone finds problems with this or can make it better I will definitely use it.
