I want to have a Web page come up (written in Python, cgi)
that returns the IP address of the browser (user's PC's IP address).

Yes. By CGI.

I did look at REMOTE_ADDR but I've been unable to figure out
the correct way to code it. I've tried a number of ways but I've been
unsuccessful.
Ideally, I'd like to store the brower's IP address in a string
and then print the string on the Web page from a Python CGI script.

Fred
