Question

Im creating a program that prints out the Ip adress of the User.
So what im trying to do is to get the Html of ipchicken.com and print out only the “Name Address” Part.
here is my code so far:

import urllib              
sock = urllib.urlopen("http://ipchicken.com")
htmlSource = sock.read()           
sock.close()
print htmlSource

Now how do i get the ip part of the html printed out?

and if there are other ways to get an ip of the user using python,please include that aswell 🙂

Answer 1

Just run a regex to find IP structure patterns over htmlSource

ips = re.findall('(?:[\d]{1,3})\.(?:[\d]{1,3})\.(?:[\d]{1,3})\.(?:[\d]{1,3})',
                 htmlSource)

the variable ips will contain all literals with a IP structure.

The whole code would look like:

import urllib,re           
sock = urllib.urlopen("http://ipchicken.com")
htmlSource = sock.read()           
sock.close()
print htmlSource
ips = re.findall('(?:[\d]{1,3})\.(?:[\d]{1,3})\.(?:[\d]{1,3})\.(?:[\d]{1,3})', htmlSource)
print "IPs in page", ips
