Alas, it's not that simple :-( My FreeBSD gateway at home has two
ethernet cards, and you'd have to check the default route to know which
one is connected to the DSL router. And even then, the DSL router
doesn't have a publicly routed IP address, but only an internal one in
my ISP's network.

If I understand correctly, you'd like to parse the output of the
ipconfig.exe commandline tool. That's easily possible with the popen
function in the os module.
