I have a string representing a domain name. How can I get the corresponding IP address using Python 3.x? Something like this:
>>> get_ip(\'http://www.st
>>> import socket
>>> def get_ips_for_host(host):
try:
ips = socket.gethostbyname_ex(host)
except socket.gaierror:
ips=[]
return ips
>>> ips = get_ips_for_host('www.google.com')
>>> print(repr(ips))
('www.l.google.com', [], ['74.125.77.104', '74.125.77.147', '74.125.77.99'])
Python 3.1.3 (r313:86834, Nov 27 2010, 18:30:53) [MSC v.1500 32 bit (Intel)] on win32
>>> import socket
>>> socket.gethostbyname('cool-rr.com')
'174.120.139.162'
Note that:
If these are problematic, use socket.getaddrinfo() instead.
