I might be missing something here, but isn't that format already
valid for any IPv6 address, not just the special v4-in-v6
representation?
>>> import socket
>>> p = '2001:abcd::192.16.10.10'
>>> n = socket.inet_pton(socket.AF_INET6, p)
>>> socket.inet_ntop(socket.AF_INET6, n)
'2001:abcd::c010:a0a'
Or is the issue just the ntop part not giving you back the
decimalized string?
