This is a simple Python library for anonymizing IP addresses. Both IPv4 and IPv6 addresses are supported.
Examples:
95.239.169.11 → 95.239.169.05219:3a94:fdc5:19e1:70a3:b2c4:40ef:ae03 → 5219:3a94:fdc5:19e1::pip install anonymizeip
from anonymizeip import anonymize_ip
address = "fe80::0202:b3ff:fe1e:8329"
anonymized = anonymize_ip(address)
print(anonymized)
# Prints "fe80::"
The number of address blocks that are set to 0 can be customized.
Besides the IP address, the function anonymize_ip takes two optional parameters:
anonymize_ip(
address,
ipv4_mask="...",
ipv6_mask="..."
)
ipv4_mask: Defaults to 255.255.255.0, i.e. the last octet will be anonymized (set to 0)ipv6_mask: Defaults to ffff:ffff:ffff:ffff:: (same as ffff:ffff:ffff:ffff:0:0:0:0), i.e. the last four blocks will be anonymized (set to 0)git clonepipenv install --devpipenv run testpipenv run lintContributions are always welcome.

The implementation of this library was strongly inspired by php-ip-anonymizer by Geert Wirken.
