need to convert IP address to unsigned long using Python. In C++ code I do this using

boost::asio::ip::address_v4::from_string("127.0.0.1").to_ulong()

Output: 2130706433

In Python so far I have been able to convert this to hex but not to ulong.

>>> socket.inet_aton('127.0.0.1')
'\x7f\x00\x00\x01'

Can you please help me with conversion of IP to ulong in Python?

`print(int(socket.inet_aton('127.0.0.1').replace('\x',''),16)) #2130706433` – chakradhar kasturi Oct 17 '17 at 15:16
Liked @chakri solution as this is short one. But this is not working in 2.7 – shrishinde Oct 17 '17 at 15:19
