How to get IP address

[Levente Sandor]

To do it in a pythonic manner, you can use the XML format information
at http://xml.showmyip.com :

from httplib import HTTPConnection
from xml.dom.ext.reader.Sax import FromXmlStream
conn = HTTPConnection('xml.showmyip.com')
conn.request('GET', '/')
doc = FromXmlStream(conn.getresponse())
print doc.getElementsByTagName('ip')[0].firstChild.data
conn.close()
