EXAMPLES

       Example program ipv4_example.py :

       from pydhcplib.type_ipv4 import ipv4

       address = ipv4()
       address1 = ipv4("192.168.0.1")
       address2 = ipv4("10.0.0.1")
       address3 = ipv4([192,168,0,1])

       print "a0 : ",address
       print "a1 : ",address1
       print "a2 : ",address2
       print "a3 : ",address3

       if address1 == address2 :
            print "test 1 : ",address1, "==",address2
       else :
            print "test 1 : " ,address1, "!=",address2

       if address1 == address3 :
            print "test 2 : ", address1, "==",address3
       else :
            print "test 2 : ", address1, "!=",address3
