Create mmdb files to encode prefix lists.

Python MMDB encoder

At Cloudflare, as part of the network automation, we build our IP prefix tables.

An example of how to use it:

import mmdbencoder
enc = mmdbencoder.Encoder(
    6, # IP version
    32, # Size of the pointers
    'My-Custom-Table', # Name of the table
    ['en'], # Languages
    {'en': 'Lorem Ipsum'}, # Description
    compat=True) # Map IPv4 in IPv6 (::abcd instead of ::ffff:abcd) to be read by official libraries
data = enc.insert_data({'info': 'Hello World'})
enc.insert_network(u'10.0.0.0/24', data)
enc.write_file('hello.mmdb')
