You mean in a web server?

The following should work (and was posted by me not long ago):

from os import getenv

ip = (getenv("HTTP_CLIENT_IP") or
      getenv("HTTP_X_FORWARDED_FOR") or
      getenv("HTTP_X_FORWARDED_FOR") or
      getenv("REMOTE_ADDR") or
      "UNKNOWN")

I use getenv() rather than environ[] to avoid exceptions.
