>>> import netaddr
>>> netaddr.__version__
'0.7.3'
>>> from netaddr import IPNetwork
>>> test = IPNetwork("10.108.10/24")
>>> print test
10.108.0.10/24
>>> test1 = IPNetwork("10/8")
>>> print test1
0.0.0.10/8


Is this expected? it is kind of normal for network engineers to not write
the trailing zeroes, although may not be accurate.

The constructor interface is little quirky and needs updating.

I'll have a look at modifying this behaviour in future versions to make it
less
confusing.

As a workaround, set implicit_prefix=True to obtain the result you need :-

>>> netaddr.IPNetwork('10/8', True)
IPNetwork('10.0.0.0/8')
