fipv

fipv (fast ip validator) is a python package build with C language. Simply it includes basic IP address validator functions as a C function, so works faster than others. Following C functions avaliable on this package:

• ipv4
• ipv4_cidr
• ipv6
• ipv6_cidr

Can be used on bulk IP data. You can find detailed test benchmark at below. Also see github pages for full package reference and documentation.

Installation

fipv can be installed easily with pip3. It requires Python 3.9+

$ pip3 install fipv

Usage

import fipv

# Basic C validation functions
print(
    fipv.ipv4("127.0.0.1"),
    fipv.ipv4_cidr("127.0.0.1/44"),
    fipv.ipv6("::1"),
    fipv.ipv6_cidr("::1/129"),
)

True False True False

import fipv

# Validate bulk IPv4 data
ips = ['127.0.0.1'] * 1000000
valids = [ip for ip in ips if fipv.ipv4(ip)]
print(len(valids))

1000000

Test Benchmark (2021-10-07)

In this test, it was tested validation speed and average RAM usage with different python validators and different data types. Finally results saved to below table.

Test Duration: Used linux time command for determine execution time of script.
Avr. RAM Usage: Used linux ps command every 0.1 second and calculated RAM average.
