socket.inet_ntop()

socket.inet_ntop(address_family, packed_ip)

Convert a packed IP address (a bytes-like object of some number of bytes) to its standard, family-specific string representation (for example, '7.10.0.5' or '5aef:2b::8'). inet_ntop() is useful when a library or network protocol returns an object of type struct in_addr (similar to inet_ntoa()) or struct in6_addr.

Supported values for address_family are currently AF_INET and AF_INET6. If the bytes object packed_ip is not the correct length for the specified address family, ValueError will be raised. OSError is raised for errors from the call to inet_ntop().
