support for postgresql 'inet' data type in attribute type?

[netllama]

I've got a PostgreSQL-16 database that has a table that is uses the inet data type ( https://www.postgresql.org/docs/current/datatype-net-types.html#DATATYPE-INET ).

I see that Pony doesn't explicitly support that type for attributes in an entity. However, I think I can easily work around it by specifying str instead and also using the py_check attribute option to enforce that the value is really an IP address.

Is this a reasonable solution, or am I missing some obvious potential problem?
