Compare two IP objects.

        This is only concerned about the comparison of the integer
        representation of the network addresses.  This means that the
        host bits aren't considered at all in this method.  If you want
        to compare host bits, you can easily enough do a
        'HostA._ip < HostB._ip'

        Args:
            other: An IP object.

        Returns:
            If the IP versions of self and other are the same, returns:

            -1 if self < other:
              eg: IPv4Network('192.0.2.0/25') < IPv4Network('192.0.2.128/25')
              IPv6Network('2001:db8::1000/124') <
                  IPv6Network('2001:db8::2000/124')
            0 if self == other
              eg: IPv4Network('192.0.2.0/24') == IPv4Network('192.0.2.0/24')
              IPv6Network('2001:db8::1000/124') ==
                  IPv6Network('2001:db8::1000/124')
            1 if self > other
              eg: IPv4Network('192.0.2.128/25') > IPv4Network('192.0.2.0/25')

          Raises:
