Finding local IP addresses using Python's stdlib

Question

How can I find local IP addresses (i.e. 192.168.x.x or 10.0.x.x) in Python platform independently and using only the standard library?

Answer 1

One simple way to produce "clean" output via command line utils:

import commands
ips = commands.getoutput("/sbin/ifconfig | grep -i \"inet\" | grep -iv \"inet6\" | " +
                         "awk {'print $2'} | sed -ne 's/addr\:/ /p'")
print ips

It will show all IPv4 addresses on the system.
