Both these python implementations are meant as replacements for ISC's
vintage 'aggregate' Unix utility, with the notable difference that they
also support IPv6.

ok, i gotta ask.  has someone tested to see if they all produce the same
result givem the same input?  i do not mean to imply they do not.  i
just have to wonder.

Yes, of course. Marco and I collaborated on the tool's regression
testing.

        job@bench $ aggregate6 < dfz_ipv4 | md5
        066bfea49c4c20fed7d86d355044764a
        job@bench $ aggregate-prefixes < dfz_ipv4 | md5
        066bfea49c4c20fed7d86d355044764a

        job@bench $ aggregate6 < dfz_ipv6 | md5
        1193796d41cc47f32230da281e3ad419
        job@bench $ aggregate-prefixes < dfz_ipv6 | md5
