Show current ip on Linux

[David Van Mosselbeen]

Hi,
Im a newbie in Python, and also in Fedora Core 3. (Yes, Linux is fine
man

My question is : How can i rwite a script that show my current ip. If i have
more than one network card, the script must then show all used ip.

It's important that this will work on a linux. i Have rwite some piece of
code that realy work under Windows XP, but the same script wil not work on
Linux.

Verry thanks to all vulunteers.

How about use the shell command "ifconfig | grep inet" ?

I think you mean ifconfig -a|grep 'inet '

He needs to see all the interfaces, no options will only print a help
message. 'inet ' will get get rid of the inet6 addresses assuming he
doesn't need those.

Thanks for support.
I have read the refered page you show above. I try some piece of code that
im have copy and paste it into a blank file that i give the name
"ip_adress.py" to test it.


THE SOURCE CODE :
-----------------

import commands

ifconfig = '/sbin/ifconfig'
# name of ethernet interface
iface = 'eth0'
# text just before inet address in ifconfig output
telltale = 'inet addr:'

def my_addr():
cmd = '%s %s' % (ifconfig, iface)
output = commands.getoutput(cmd)

inet = output.find(telltale)
if inet >= 0:
start = inet + len(telltale)
end = output.find(' ', start)
addr = output[start:end]
else:
addr = ''

return addr
# End python code

But now, it's fine to have some piece of code but this wil not work on my
computer. I'm sure that y do somethings bad.
To run the python script on a Linux machine. How to proceed it ?

1) I have open a terminal
2) then i type "python ip_adress.py" (to run the script)

But nothings, i not view the current ip of my computer.
What happend ?

You have defined a function, but you never call this function. Running a
script won't do anything, if this script consists only of function (or
class) definitions.

You can either

- open the interactive python interpreter and type:
import ip_adress
ip_adress.my_addr()

or, probably simpler,

- add the following two lines to your script, after the definition of
your function:

if __name__ == '__main__':
print my_addr()

Then run your script just as you did before. Now you are calling the
function and printing the value it returns.

It's work now
