Dear All,
I'm writing a Python FOSS application and am *very* keen to keep it
platform agnostic.
I don't own a Mac, but have access to some sympathetic Mac owners. :-)
The following code works just fine under Windows XP and Vista but not on
MacOS X (currently no idea what version, though Python is 2.5.?). Any
thoughts?
def get_my_ip_address():
ret=None
try:
s=socket.socket(socket.AF_INET, socket.SOCK_DGRAM)
s.connect(('google.com', 0))
sn=s.getsockname()
if sn:
ret=sn[0]
except socket.error, e:
hn=socket.gethostname()
ret=socket.gethostbyname(hn)
return ret
produces the stack:
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "./sarnie_client.py", line 181, in get_my_ip_address
s.connect(('google.com', 0))
File "<string>", line 1, in connect
socket.error: (49, "Can't assign requested address")
My application has been given firewall rights accept connections from
the Internet. Is there perhaps anything else that I should configure?
TIA
-R
