misc/ipaddr.py

[Jason Grout]

Does anyone know what

sagenb/misc/ipaddr.py

is for? It doesn't seem to be imported anywhere in sagenb. I'd like to
delete the file, and if we need it, instead add it to the dependencies
list for the notebook.

Thanks,

Jason

Finish updating to Twisted 11 and throw an error message if the
subnets parameter is used.

trac 7635: make it trivial for any user to restrict the notebook
server to only listen on certain subdomain

It looks like the file was introduced in #7635. I think we decided that
restricting to a certain domain should be done outside of the sage
notebook (i.e., with a firewall) instead of with twisted [1]; the file
isn't needed anymore, so I'll delete it and won't add it to the
dependencies.

Thanks,

Jason
