netaddr.AddrRange
class AddrRange(__builtin__.object)
 | A block of contiguous network addresses bounded by an arbitrary start and
 | stop address. There is no requirement that they fall on strict bit mask
 | boundaries, unlike L{CIDR} addresses.
 |
 | __init__(self, first, last, klass=<class 'netaddr.address.Addr'>)
 | Constructor.
 |
 | @param first: start address for this network address range.
 |
 | @param last: stop address for this network address range.
 |
 | @param klass: (optional) class used to create each object returned.
 | Default: L{Addr()} objects. See L{nrange()} documentations for
 | additional details on options.
when looking through the code.google.com wiki, I couldn't find any
examples of creating addresses with netmasks and AddrRange was the
first thing I found when looking through pydoc.

and still having two separate classes represent the same thing seems odd to me.
