Not really for my use case -- it isn't that *I* want to know my public IP address, but rather that IPython wants to know it. Of course I could patch IPython's source to use netifaces but that sounds like an overkill. As it happens I found a better way: just add the proper entry to /etc/hosts. Still, thanks for the suggestions. Antony -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
