Not the best code to do the job, but hopefully should give you a good
starting point.

import socket

def ips:
    if os.environ.has_key('REMOTE_ADDR'):
        user = os.environ['REMOTE_ADDR']
        try:
            host, alias, ips = socket.gethostbyaddr(user)
            if host!="":
                user = host
        except socket.error, msg:
            pass
    else:
        user = "Local machine"
    return(user)
