Generating and printing a range of ip addresses

Hi all,

I would like to write a python script that takes input
of 2 ip address, one a start address and the other the
end address and prints a list of all ip address in
between  in dotted-decimal format.  I've attempted to
use the ipv4 module
(http://pynms.sourceforge.net/ipv4.html) ,but I am
unable to get past this error  "AttributeError: 'str'
object has no attribute '_address".  

Can any suggest a solution to this problem? Is there a
better way than using the ipv4 module?

Thanks,

Steve

>>> from ipv4 import *
>>> ip = IPv4('10.0.0.1')
>>> startadd = ip.nexthost()
>>> endadd = ('10.0.3.0')
>>> print startadd
10.0.0.2
>>> print endadd
10.0.3.0

>>> while startadd != endadd:
... 	startadd = ip.nexthost()
... 	print startadd
... 	
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "<interactive input>", line 1, in ?
  File "C:\Python23\lib\ipv4.py", line 250, in __cmp__
    return cmp(self._address, other._address)
AttributeError: 'str' object has no attribute '_address'
