Getting local IP address...

[Tony Johnson]

Why not just do an addr = os.system(ifconfig eth0 | grep inet)
This should return the ip addy of the nic...

Since the way OS's store IP addys is so implementaion dependant, I don't 
see how it could be portable unless people start making a posix way of 
storing an ip addy on top of the os dependant way
