In case of IPv6Address and IPv6Network is_private is very much not an equivalent or a replacement of is_site_local(). IPv6 is_private considers many ranges other than RFC 4193's fc00::/7 to be private (see _IPv6Constants._private_networks for the complete list). IPv6Address.is_private goes even further and delegates to IPv4Address.is_private in case of an IPv4-mapped IPv6 address.
