Hmm, almost.

This should be defined at the top of the file. Otherwise, Python will create and destroy a tuple with these values every time the function is being called. That is a lot of overhead.

I also like writing lists like this as follows:

VALID_ASN_RANGES = (
	(1, 23455),
	(23457, 64495),
	...
)

That way, changes are easier to read in a diff.

You can write this as “for first, last in validranges:”. That way, you have a new variable that expresses what it is all about.
