If you pass in a non-unicode 4-byte ipv6 address to ip_address,
ipaddress interprets this as an IPv4Address.
Under python2, ip_address interprets 'a7::' as a packed ipv4:
97.55.58.58
You can test with:
---
import ipaddress
try:
text_type = unicode
except NameError:
text_type = str
addr = ipaddress.ip_address('a7::')
print(addr)

The API calls that use any of vl_api_address_t, vl_api_ip4_address,
vl_api_ip6_address_t, vl_api_prefix_t, vl_api_ip4_prefix_t,
vl_api_ip6_prefix_t now accepts either the old style dictionary,
a text string (2001:db8::/32) or an ipaddress ojbect.
Unless it is called with '_no_type_conversion':True, it will
also return an appropriate ipaddress object.
