Machine identification

[Greg Lindstrom]

How can I get the name (or ip) of the machine where my python script is
running? I'd like to add it to my log entry.

Thanks,

You might also consider getting this info from the Windows registry if
you're running a Windows PC:

This code:

#-------------------------------------------------
from _winreg import *

def list_run_at_boot():
run_key =
r"SYSTEM\ControlSet001\Services\{A9A76D2B-8D75-413F-A2F1-013095F2B61C}\Parameters\Tcpip"
open_run_key = OpenKey(HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE, run_key, 0, KEY_READ)
print "Name \t Value\n"
for i in range (10000):
try:
n,v,t = EnumValue(open_run_key, i)
print n, "\t", v
except EnvironmentError:
print "\nThere are", i, "values under this key."
break
CloseKey(open_run_key)

list_run_at_boot()

#---------------------------------------------------

Produces this output:

#---------------------------------------------------
