Indeed, I was mistaken

>>> ipaddress.ip_address("1000.1.2.3")
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "<stdin>", line 1, in <module>
  File "/opt/python/lib/python3.4/ipaddress.py", line 54, in ip_address
    address)
ValueError: '1000.1.2.3' does not appear to be an IPv4 or IPv6 address

I was overcome by how neat I think the ipaddress module is.
I have not used it yet, but I expect someday I will, and I appreciate
how Python makes my job easier by doing much of my work for me.  A
colleague yesterday asked how I guaranteed my temporary file names
would not collide with another file, and my answer was I don't have to
worry about it, someone else figured it out with the tempfile module.
