You can use the os module to get it from your environment.

  >>> import os
  >>> os.getenv('HOSTNAME')
  'calvin.watterson'

Depending on your operating system, the environment variable you need
might have a different name. For example, I think in Windows you
might try

  >>> os.getenv('COMPUTERNAME')

You can see all of the environment variables currently available with

  >>> os.environ

I hope this helps,
