Hi Marco,


Here's a quicky way to do it:

###
import socket

def getSelfIp():
    """Returns the IP address of the local host."""
    return socket.gethostbyname(socket.gethostname())
###


This might not work perfectly.  If you want something more
comprehensive, you may want to use something like the localIP()
function in Webware:

    http://webware.sourceforge.net/Webware-0.8b2/MiscUtils/Docs/Source/Files/Funcs.py.html

This appears to be a bit more systematic in getting a good local IP
address.


Good luck to you!
