Just happened to do this some minutes ago:

Python 1.5.2+ (#4, Nov 18 1999, 01:39:08)  [GCC egcs-2.91.66 19990314 (egcs-1.1.2 release)] on linux2

IDLE 0.5 -- press F1 for help
>>> import socket
>>> socket.gethostbyaddr('132.151.1.90')
('parrot.python.org', [], ['132.151.1.90'])
>>> host, aliases, ips = socket.gethostbyaddr('132.151.1.90')
>>> print host
parrot.python.org
