Python method for listing IPv4 vs IPv6 rules

Hello, all.

I have a question about listing out IPv4 vs IPv6 rules using Python. While working with the Python package PyUFW (https://pypi.org/project/pyufw/) I discovered that when listing the rules within UFW, it wasn't explicitly stating whether a rule was for IPv4 or IPv6 (see below).

1 allow 22/tcp
2 allow 80
3 allow 443
4 allow 22/tcp
5 allow 80
6 allow 443

After some investigation, it appears to me that the culprit for this behavior actually lies with the UFW source code. In the source code there is an object that stores IPv4 and IPv6 rules in separate lists. Those lists are then accessed with the following method:

def get_rules(self):
        '''Return list of all rules'''
        return self.rules + self.rules6

The issue with this is that the returned list doesn't contain an indication of what IP version each item corresponds to.

Is there a different method that allows me to distinguish between IPv4 and IPv6 rules? I could always access the object's variables directly (see example below), but I don't think that's best practice.

rules_ipv4 = backend.rules
rules_ipv6 = backend.rules6

Please let me know what you all think as well as if you have any questions. Thanks!
