How to get computer name

How do I get the computer name in python?

I've been looking over the internet, and couldn't find anything.

Thanks!

You can use the os module to get it from your environment.

import os
os.getenv('HOSTNAME') 'calvin.watterson'

Depending on your operating system, the environment variable you need
might have a different name. For example, I think in Windows you
might try
os.getenv('COMPUTERNAME')
You can see all of the environment variables currently available with
os.environ

I hope this helps,

Tim

Though,... I think once I saw something like: getComputerByName but
can't find it anymore,...

import socket
print socket.gethostname() blade print socket.gethostbyname('blade') # will print IP address
