Since Python 3.3 there is a nice module in the stdlib for ipaddress.

import ipaddress
start_ip = ipaddress.ip_address('192.168.0.1')
for i in range(254):
   print(start_ip + i)

21.28. ipaddress — IPv4/IPv6 manipulation library

If you want to get a range for a whole network, you should use following:

ip_network_24 = ipaddress.ip_network('192.168.0.0/24') # Netmask = 255.255.255.0
ip_network_16 = ipaddress.ip_network('192.168.0.0/16') # Netmask = 255.255.0.0

print('Whole 192.168.0.0/24 network:')
for ip in ip_network_24.hosts():
   print(ip)
# Network Address and Braodcast Address are excluded.
# 254 hosts

print('Whole 192.168.0.0/16 network:')
for ip in ip_network_16.hosts():
   print(ip)
# 65534 hosts

This module saves you against string manipulation. All important logic is inside the module and has a good abstraction. This saves brain-time.
