Python MMDB encoder

At Cloudflare, as part of the network automation, we build our IP prefix tables.

An example of how to use it:

import mmdbencoder
enc = mmdbencoder.Encoder(
    6, # IP version
    32, # Size of the pointers
    'My-Custom-Table', # Name of the table
    ['en'], # Languages
    {'en': 'Lorem Ipsum'}, # Description
    compat=True) # Map IPv4 in IPv6 (::abcd instead of ::ffff:abcd) to be read by official libraries
data = enc.insert_data({'info': 'Hello World'})
enc.insert_network(u'10.0.0.0/24', data)
enc.write_file('hello.mmdb')
