Standard way to change 10.0.0.2 to another static ip address

[tholtom]

I have network clash issues with the default 10.0.0.2 ip address assigned to the pwn. I got around this by communicating with the pwn by starting up an in memory instance of Ubuntu with no external network connection, then connecting. Trouble is I want to do the python updates for the Inky Phat display. For that I need the pwn to have an external connectivity. I can use the IP forwarding solution given by Jaylo in the docs but then I need an external connection and I'm back to clashing. How do I change 10.0.0.2 to an static address in another private IP range, like 172? Tim.
