I stumbled on this a while back. It may only work on Linux because of
the fcntl.
import socket
import fcntl
import struct
def get_ip_address(ifname):
s = socket.socket(socket.AF_INET, socket.SOCK_DGRAM)
return socket.inet_ntoa(fcntl.ioctl(
s.fileno(),
0x8915, # SIOCGIFADDR
struct.pack('256s', ifname[:15])
)[20:24])
>>> get_ip_address('lo')
'127.0.0.1'
>>> get_ip_address('eth0')
'38.113.228.130'
