You have defined a function, but you never call this function. Running a
script won't do anything, if this script consists only of function (or
class) definitions.
You can either
- open the interactive python interpreter and type:
import ip_adress
ip_adress.my_addr()
or, probably simpler,
- add the following two lines to your script, after the definition of
your function:
if __name__ == '__main__':
print my_addr()
Then run your script just as you did before. Now you are calling the
function and printing the value it returns.
