ifconfig in python

[bruce]

so the question really starts to look like:

 -what's the default listening address for my app (insert nic)?
 -what's the default sending address for my app (insert nic)?
 -what's the default listening address for my server?
 -what's the default sending address for my server?
 -what's the default listening address for my (insert nic)?
 -what's the default sending address for my (insert nic)?

any other possibilities??

That doesn't mean that you can get away with a single address for the
entire host, though: you need addresses which correspond to the networks
you're attached to.

especially sense we are also getting into virtual NICs where you can have a webserver listening to one and broadcasting a stream to another.
