The package maps these PostgreSQL types to Python's ipaddress module (for IP fields) and netaddr.EUI (for MAC fields), eliminating costly HOST() casts in queries and enabling IPv6 support.\n\nThe package includes NetManager, which unlocks advanced network-based lookups directly in the ORM\u2014containment checks, overlap detection, family matching, prefix length filtering, and more\u2014corresponding to PostgreSQL's native network functions. It also exposes Postgres network functions (Family, Masklen, Broadcast, etc.) as Django database functions for complex queries and annotations.","worth_installing":"Yes. The package is actively maintained, has no known vulnerabilities, and solves a real problem\u2014efficient network data handling in Django+PostgreSQL.
