<br><br>is there in python an independent from the system way to<br>obtain the IP<br><br>i am playng around<br><code><br>import sys<br>import os<br>ipconfname={'nt':'ipconfig', 'posix':'ifconfig'}<br>ipstr = os.popen
(ipconfname[<a href="http://os.name">os.name</a>] ).read()<br>#print ipstr<br></code><br>but i found out that answer depends on <a href="http://os.name">os.name</a> ...<br><br>in this case i have to use a different parser for each
<br>system ... so is there another way to retrieve the IP?<br><br>regards,<br>e.<br><br>-----------------------------<br><br><a href="http://www.atol.bg">http://www.atol.bg</a> - Намери бившите си съученици и стари приятели!
