Hello, i need a function that returns the ipv6 address from a given interface name. For ipv4 i use this one: def get_ip_address(ifname): s = socket.socket(socket.AF_INET, socket.SOCK_DGRAM) return socket.inet_ntoa(fcntl.ioctl( s.fileno(), 0x8915, # SIOCGIFADDR struct.pack('256s', ifname[:15]) )[20:24])
which works great. But i am not enough into python to port that to ipv6. It has to work under linux only. Any help is appreciated. Greets, Kai -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
