[CentralOH] SheevaPlug - Python app right out of the box!

[Jon Miller]

I felt bad for supplying a shell version... another trick you can do
is to use the 'socket' module. If you happen to have a host which you
can connect to on the network, then this trick might be good for you.
In my example, I'll connect to a  fictious server named 'jumpbox' on
port 22:

import socket
s1 = socket.socket()
s.connect(('jumpbox', 22))
print 'My IP is %s' % s.getsockname()[0]

>> Has anyone in the COhPy messed with a SheevaPlug? This is a "plug computer" that comes preloaded with a version of Ubuntu 9.04 and, more importantly, Python 2.5 is installed. I have a small (but useful) web-based app written using webpy. I simply copied the files to a USB memory stick. Once I mounted the memory stick on the SheevaPlug, I issued the command 'python main.py' and my app was off an running. Pretty cool!
