Does Python have an equivalent to C's inet_addr()?

socket.inet_aton() produces a four-byte string you can pass as a struct in_addr, if that's what you are looking for. If you want a number then use the struct module to manipulate it further.

>>> s.inet_aton('127.0.0.1')
'\x7f\x00\x00\x01'

Thanks! That works great for my needs. I should have read the socket documentation more thoroughly.
