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
