Hi, I have a Python application that communicates with a server via telnet. Host and port of the server are supplied by the user when the application is started.
How can I determine from within the application whether the server's host actually is the local host? (In that case I could implement an operation not available in the telnet-based protocol by directly accessing the local filesystem.) Sounds like there should be an obvious solution. Unfortunately, I haven't found it yet :-) Malte -- https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
