One way that works on most systems is:

import socket
socket.gethostbyname(socket.gethostname())

Basically, this way you request the IP address for your host name; so
you depend on many variables: your system has a name that can be
resolved locally by a file or DNS lookup or similar...

The socket module.  Check the socket.socket class.
