Paul Vinciguerra 9e315958d6 VTL: Fix issue with ipaddress library use under python2. ...

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)
