Re: get my ip address

tony; I am aware that I can call ip a and parse the result. [...] Is there any other way to obtain this data, maybe from /sys? just call libc.getifaddrs() directly. * http://programmaticallyspeaking.com./getting-network-interfaces-in-python.html

If you're going to recommend parsing `ip`, the -j option may be more amenable to scripting. (JSON output) On 15/02/2019 15:52, David Wright wrote: > On Fri 15 Feb 2019 at 12:02:20 (+0100), Markus Schönhaber wrote: >> Tony, 15.2.2019, 11:11:29 +0100: >> >>> Debian 9. I need to read my IPv6 address

get my ip address

Hi all, Debian 9. I need to read my IPv6 address into a python script. I am aware that I can call ip a and parse the result. The parsing, whilst quite achievable, is slightly tricky, but I can manage the RE, so that's not my question. Is there any other way to obtain this data, maybe from /sys?
