How do i get my ip address?

in cmd.exe i just type "ipconfig" then it prints:
...
IP-address . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . : 192.168.1.10
...
how can i do that in python??

Hmm then you need Internet connecting. can i do it without that? ´

and it doesn't work either

That's what IP adresses are for...

Perhaps you could use the method mentioned in
http://mail.python.org/pipermail/python-list/1999-August/009153.html

and it doesn't work either

Works for me:

#v+

klaus@home:~ $ python -c 'import re, urllib; print re.findall("<title>Your IP: (.+?)</title>", urllib.urlopen("http://myip.dk/").read())[0]'
217.157.1.202
klaus@home:~ $

Hey,

This will get your IP address:

#######Code########
print socket.gethostbyaddr(socket.gethostname())
('compname', [], ['192.168.1.2'])
########End Code########

If you are wanting to to communicate over the internet you will have
to get the IP of you rounter. So you will have to either find a way to
talk to your router or try and use an online service like these other
guys suggest.

Your one-liner doesn't work for me, with Windows XP, but the following
does, within Python.

*** Python 2.5 (r25:51908, Sep 19 2006, 09:52:17) [MSC v.1310 32 bit
(Intel)] on win32. ***

This will get your IP address:

#######Code########
print socket.gethostbyaddr(socket.gethostname())
('compname', [], ['192.168.1.2'])
########End Code########

It will return an IP address, but not necessarily the one you want:

#v+

klaus@home:~ $ python -c 'import socket; print socket.gethostbyaddr(socket.gethostname())'
('zdani.szn.dk', [], ['2001:1448:89::1'])
klaus@home:~ $

Could it be due to shell-escaping issues? I don't know anything
about Windows...

There is absolutely no need to know the IP address of "your router" to
communicate with Internet devices. Either your IP layer is configured to
know the addresses of one or more routers, or it has discovered those
address by dynamic means, or you can't get off-net because there aren't
any routers.

How do i get my ip address?

Which IP address. One computer might have many IP addresses. (Indeed a
typical network-connected computer will tend to have at least one for each
connected network device, plus the special address 127.0.0.1 for the
loopback network.) How is Python supposed to know which IP address you
want?

If you don't care which address, the code supplied by Adam should work. If
you do care, then you'll probably need to write OS-specific code for each
platform you choose to support, probably parsing the output of ipconfig
(Windows) or ifconfig (Linux/UNIX/Mac) somehow.

Adam also says:
| If you are wanting to to communicate over the internet you will have
| to get the IP of you rounter.

Not strictly true, but if your network uses NAT, and you want some host
outside your network to be able to *connect to you*, then yes, you need the
IP address of your router. If you're not using NAT, then you shouldn't
need to worry about your router, as IP addresses alone provide full
end-to-end routing. (Indeed that's the whole point of IP.)

Your one-liner doesn't work for me, with Windows XP, but the following

On XP you should switch the usage of " and ' (double quotes are used
to enclose command arguments with embedded spaces):

python -c "import re, urllib; print re.findall('<title>Your IP:
(.+?)</title>', urllib.urlopen('http://myip.dk/').read())[0]"

urllib.urlopen("http://myip.dk/")

http://whatismyip.org gives it to you in a more usable format. But, as
others have pointed out, it might return your router's IP.

How do i get my ip address?

in cmd.exe i just type "ipconfig" then it prints:
...
IP-address . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . : 192.168.1.10
...
how can i do that in python??#v+

python -c 'import re, urllib; print re.findall("<title>Your IP: (.+?)</title>", urllib.urlopen("http://myip.dk/").read())[0]'

This is extremely unlikely to return 192.168.1.10.

(It will give you the address of your firewall or whatever is your
gateway to the outside world... which is a cool thing to know, but
I'm not sure it's what the op's after.)

If you want to get your external IP you can do:

import urllib

checkIP = urllib.urlopen("http://checkip.dyndns.org").read()
externalIP = checkIP.split()[-1].strip("</body></html>")
print externalIP

Hope this helps.

Exactly i wnat my local ip. sorry if i din't tell that

... or you can't get off-net because you don't *know* the routers.

What I know or don't know makes absolutely no difference to whether my
computer can reach the Internet, it's a matter of whether the IP layes
is configured to know the appropriate address to which it can hand off
non-local traffic.

If you are trying to say that it's necessary to know the IP address of
the routers in order to select a specific interface address from the
available choices as "the Internet interface" then kindly say so and
stop wallowing in semantic obscurity.

Steve
