ip = os.popen("ifconfig").readlines()
is a bit more convenient.

the command is called "ipconfig" in windows.
there's also
>>> import socket
>>> socket.gethostbyname(socket.gethostname())
'1.2.3.4'
>>> socket.gethostbyname_ex(socket.gethostname())
('bender.shiny.com', ['bender'], ['1.2.3.4'])
>>> socket.getaddrinfo(socket.gethostname(), 0)
[(2, 1, 0, '', ('1.2.3.4', 0)), (2, 2, 0, '', ('1.2.3.4', 0))]
etc. if you're behind a firewall/NAT etc and you want your "public IP",
you can do something like:
>>> import re, urllib
>>> ip = urllib.urlopen('http://checkip.dyndns.org').read()
>>> re.search("(\d+\.\d+\.\d+.\d+)", ip).group()
'4.3.2.1'
hope this helps!
