help with ipaddress package

[jcrubaugh45]

The /24 indicated the number of bits in the network mask.
I am not sure, but expect that this should be stripped before calling ipaddress methods.

I wouldnt think so, because i have this other function below in the same total code block, that works as expected..

def valid_ip_or_cidr(ip):
    try:
        ipaddress.IPv4Address(ip)
        #print('This is a valid IPs address')
        return True
    except:
        try:
            ipaddress.IPv4Network(ip)
            #print('This is a valid network CIDR')
            return True
        except:
            print(ip + ' This is neither a valid IPV4 address  or a valid IPV4 CIDR notation, please check your data and try again')
            #return False
            sys.exit()
