Public ip address in python 3.2

what do you mean by 'public ip address'? the ip address of your machine? this you can get with the following:

import socket
print(socket.gethostbyname(socket.gethostname()))

@surfer - that will work if your client PC has been allocated a public address. If you are sitting behind a NAT router, then this will return the address that the NAT router has assigned - which will be valid on the network behind the NAT router (i.e. in your home or office), but which is not your public address.

There is no absolute secure way of getting the public ip address without using external informations. I recommend you to get your ip address from a public site.

its changed to, http://automation.whatismyip.com/n09230945.asp

try this, it works in 2.7


from urllib import urlopen
print urlopen('http://automation.whatismyip.com/n09230945.asp').read()


EDIT:
It looks like in 3.2 you have to use


urllib.request.urlopen('http://automation.whatismyip.com/n09230945.asp').read()
