Validate IP address in Python

[chowsys]

I need to validate the IP.Like no space allowed in the entry, the numerals should not exceed 255, not more than 3 dots allowed overall, no consecutive dots allowed. How do i go about the same? Is there any built in function for the same?

There are many ways of achieving the validation of IP in python. Some of them are like:
Use regular expressions and validate
Or achieve the same by setting the VERBOSE flag
