Note

This documentation is for a development version of IPython. There may be significant differences from the latest stable release (1.2.1).

Module: utils.localinterfaces

Simple utility for building a list of local IPs using the socket module. This module defines two constants:

LOCALHOST : The loopback interface, or the first interface that points to this

machine. It will almost always be ‘127.0.0.1’

LOCAL_IPS : A list of IP addresses, loopback first, that point to this machine.

This will include LOCALHOST, PUBLIC_IPS, and aliases for all hosts, such as ‘0.0.0.0’.

PUBLIC_IPS : A list of public IP addresses that point to this machine.

Use these to tell remote clients where to find you.
