How do I get IP Addres in Python

Question

Is there any way to get the IP address in pure python (not Django)?

I found the code bellow, but i do not have a Request object.

def get_client_ip(request):
    x_forwarded_for = request.META.get('HTTP_X_FORWARDED_FOR')
    if x_forwarded_for:
        ip = x_forwarded_for.split(',')[-1].strip()
    else:
        ip = request.META.get('REMOTE_ADDR')
    return ip

IP of the user who made the request service. This is a WebService in Tornado. — Eduardo, Feb 27 '13 at 19:13

If you're talking about your local machine a quick google search found this:

It sounds like you are saying that you have a socket object that is the result of an earlier accept call. If so, that socket object will have a getpeername attribute:

result = descriptor.getpeername()

If it's an IP socket the result will be the (hostaddr, port) pair.

You can get the local IP adress using the socket module

>>> import socket
>>> socket.gethostbyname(socket.gethostname())
