Re: Getting externally-facing IP address?

Try using 0.0.0.0 as the IP address, or possibly giving IP address at all. HTH :) -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list

Is there a clean way of doing so that will work, for example, when I move the code to my server (which obviously doesn't have the same IP address)? Another way would be this: 1. connect to a server using a TCP socket (for example, google.com or anything else that goes through your desired interface) 2. after connection, read the IP address (client address) from the socket object IMHO if you wish to operate a server, you should either bind to all IP addresses, or know your real IP address.
