CIDR ( http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Classless_Inter-Domain_Routing ) is a well-known IP range syntax. This CIDR_LIST class can be used to make ranges of IPs considered "internal" for Django's debugging and security purposes. (Django only ever needs to do "ip in INTERNAL_IPS" so contains is sufficient for the purpose.)

For example, to make localhost and the entire block of 10.0.0.* considered to be internal, use:

INTERNAL_IPS = CIDR_LIST([ '127.0.0.1', '10.0.0.0/24' ])

                self.cidrs.append(ipv4.CIDR(cidr))
        except ImportError:
            pass
    def __contains__(self, ip):
        import ipv4
        try:
            for cidr in self.cidrs:
                if ipv4.CIDR(ip) in cidr:
                    return True
        except:
            pass
        return False
