Using PySphere library How could it possible to retrive the 'DNS and Routing' configuration of an EXSi host.
Here I need to retrieve the Name attribute under DNS and Routing -udm00esx04
On the VMware pyvmomi page, there is a link to the vSphere WS SDK API documentation.
While that documentation is not always intutitive, it is where I find answers to questions like this.
To answer your question, you need to obtain the host object, and then get the network properties (attributes) you want. Assuming "esxi" is an object of type vim.HostSystem, the following will get the information you want:
# dns name
esxi.config.network.dnsConfig.hostName
# domain name
esxi.config.network.dnsConfig.domainName
from pyVim import connect
from pyVmomi import vmodl
from pyVmomi import vim
address = ''
username = ''
password = ''
con = connect.SmartConnect(host=address, user=username, pwd=password)
content = con.RetrieveContent()
cv = content.viewManager.CreateContainerView(
container=content.rootFolder, type=[vim.HostSystem], recursive=True)
for child in cv.view:
print child.name, ": ", child.config.network.dnsConfig.hostName
I'm running a number of Google Compute Engine instances that run Python code, and I want to find the name or the ID of each instance from inside the instances.
One solution I've found is to get the internal IP of the instance using:
import socket
internal_ip = socket.gethostbyname(socket.gethostname())
Then I list all the instances:
from oauth2client.client import GoogleCredentials
from googleapiclient.discovery import build
credentials = GoogleCredentials.get_application_default()
self.compute = build('compute', 'v1', credentials=credentials)
result = self.compute.instances().list(project=project, zone=zone).execute()
Then I iterate over all the instances to check if the internal IP matches the IP of an instance:
for instance in result["items"]:
if instance["networkInterfaces"][0]["networkIP"] == internal_ip:
internal_id = instance["id"]
This works but it's a bit complicated, is there a more direct way to achieve the same thing, e.g. using Google's Python Client Library or the gcloud command line tool?
Instance Name:
socket.gethostname() or platform.node() should return the name of the instance. You might have to do a bit of parsing depending on your OS.
This worked for me on Debian and Ubuntu systems:
import socket
gce_name = socket.gethostname()
However, on a CoreOS instance, the hostname command gave the name of the instance plus the zone information, so you would have to do some parsing.
Instance ID / Name / More (Recommended):
The better way to do this is to use the Metadata server. This is the easiest way to get instance information, and works with basically any programming language or straight CURL. Here is a Python example using Requests.
import requests
metadata_server = "http://metadata/computeMetadata/v1/instance/"
metadata_flavor = {'Metadata-Flavor' : 'Google'}
gce_id = requests.get(metadata_server + 'id', headers = metadata_flavor).text
gce_name = requests.get(metadata_server + 'hostname', headers = metadata_flavor).text
gce_machine_type = requests.get(metadata_server + 'machine-type', headers = metadata_flavor).text
Again, you might need to do some parsing here, but it is really straightforward!

How can I use Python to get the system hostname?
To get your instance name, execute the following from your VM:
curl http://metadata.google.internal/computeMetadata/v1/instance/hostname -H Metadata-Flavor:Google
and to get your instance id:
curl http://metadata.google.internal/computeMetadata/v1/instance/id -H Metadata-Flavor:Google

I want to know my internet provider (external) IP address (broadband or something else) with Python.
There are multiple machines are connected to that network. I tried in different way's but I got only the local and public IP my machine. How do I find my external IP address through Python?
Thanks in advance.
Use this script :
import urllib, json
data = json.loads(urllib.urlopen("http://ip.jsontest.com/").read())
print data["ip"]
Without json :
import urllib, re
data = re.search('"([0-9.]*)"', urllib.urlopen("http://ip.jsontest.com/").read()).group(1)
print data
Other way it was to parse ifconfig (= linux) or ipconfig (= windows) command but take care with translated Windows System
(ipconfig was translated).
Example of lib for linux :
ifparser.
Secure option (with https support)
from requests import get
get('https://ipapi.co/ip/').text
Complete JSON response
P.S. requests module is convenient for https support. You can try httplib though.
You'll have to use an external source you trust. Python2.x:
from urllib import urlopen
import json
url = 'http://api.hostip.info/get_json.php'
info = json.loads(urlopen(url).read())
print(info['ip'])
If you want more info, you can print more values from info.
Non-python oneliner:
wget -q -O- icanhazip.com

TL;DR:
import ipgetter
ip=ipgetter.myip()
In my opinion the simplest solution is
f = requests.request('GET', 'http://myip.dnsomatic.com')
ip = f.text
Thats all.
my website http;//botliam.com/1.php outputs your ip so you only need these 3 lines to get your ip.
import requests
page = requests.get('http://botliam.com/1.php')
ip = page.text
what its doing is:
opens my webpage and calls it "page"
sets "ip" to the contents of the "page"
if you want your own server to return your external ip instead of relying on my site the code for it is below:
<?php
$ip = getenv('HTTP_CLIENT_IP')?:
getenv('HTTP_X_FORWARDED_FOR')?:
getenv('HTTP_X_FORWARDED')?:
getenv('HTTP_FORWARDED_FOR')?:
getenv('HTTP_FORWARDED')?:
getenv('REMOTE_ADDR');
echo "$ip";
?>
Looking for a better way to get a machines current external IP #... Below works, but would rather not rely on an outside site to gather the information ... I am restricted to using standard Python 2.5.1 libraries bundled with Mac OS X 10.5.x
import os
import urllib2
def check_in():
fqn = os.uname()[1]
ext_ip = urllib2.urlopen('http://whatismyip.org').read()
print ("Asset: %s " % fqn, "Checking in from IP#: %s " % ext_ip)
I liked the http://ipify.org. They even provide Python code for using their API.
# This example requires the requests library be installed. You can learn more
# about the Requests library here: http://docs.python-requests.org/en/latest/
from requests import get
ip = get('https://api.ipify.org').content.decode('utf8')
print('My public IP address is: {}'.format(ip))
Python3, using nothing else but the standard library
As mentioned before, one can use an external service like ident.me in order to discover the external IP address of your router.
Here is how it is done with python3, using nothing else but the standard library:
import urllib.request
external_ip = urllib.request.urlopen('https://ident.me').read().decode('utf8')
print(external_ip)
Both IPv4 and IPv6 addresses can be returned, based on availability and client preference; use https://v4.ident.me/ for IPv4 only, or https://v6.ident.me/ for IPv6 only.
If you are behind a router which obtains the external IP, I'm afraid you have no other option but to use external service like you do. If the router itself has some query interface, you can use it, but the solution will be very environment-specific and unreliable.
You should use the UPnP protocol to query your router for this information. Most importantly, this does not rely on an external service, which all the other answers to this question seem to suggest.
There's a Python library called miniupnp which can do this, see e.g. miniupnpc/testupnpigd.py.
pip install miniupnpc
Based on their example you should be able to do something like this:
import miniupnpc
u = miniupnpc.UPnP()
u.discoverdelay = 200
u.discover()
u.selectigd()
print('external ip address: {}'.format(u.externalipaddress()))
I prefer this Amazon AWS endpoint:
import requests
ip = requests.get('https://checkip.amazonaws.com').text.strip()
In my opinion the simplest solution is
import requests
f = requests.request('GET', 'http://myip.dnsomatic.com')
ip = f.text
Thats all.
Use requests module:
import requests
myip = requests.get('https://www.wikipedia.org').headers['X-Client-IP']
print("\n[+] Public IP: "+myip)
As simple as running this in Python3:
import os
externalIP = os.popen('curl -s ifconfig.me').readline()
print(externalIP)
Try:
import requests
ip = requests.get('http://ipinfo.io/json').json()['ip']
Hope this is helpful
If you don't want to use external services (IP websites, etc.) You can use the UPnP Protocol.
Do to that we use a simple UPnP client library (https://github.com/flyte/upnpclient)
Install:
pip install upnpclient
Simple Code:
import upnpclient
devices = upnpclient.discover()
if(len(devices) > 0):
externalIP = devices[0].WANIPConn1.GetExternalIPAddress()
print(externalIP)
else:
print('No Connected network interface detected')
Full Code (to get more information as mentioned in the github readme)
In [1]: import upnpclient
In [2]: devices = upnpclient.discover()
In [3]: devices
Out[3]:
[<Device 'OpenWRT router'>,
<Device 'Harmony Hub'>,
<Device 'walternate: root'>]
In [4]: d = devices[0]
In [5]: d.WANIPConn1.GetStatusInfo()
Out[5]:
{'NewConnectionStatus': 'Connected',
'NewLastConnectionError': 'ERROR_NONE',
'NewUptime': 14851479}
In [6]: d.WANIPConn1.GetNATRSIPStatus()
Out[6]: {'NewNATEnabled': True, 'NewRSIPAvailable': False}
In [7]: d.WANIPConn1.GetExternalIPAddress()
Out[7]: {'NewExternalIPAddress': '123.123.123.123'}
If you think and external source is too unreliable, you could pool a few different services. For most ip lookup pages they require you to scrape html, but a few of them that have created lean pages for scripts like yours - also so they can reduce the hits on their sites:
automation.whatismyip.com/n09230945.asp (Update: whatismyip has taken this service down)
whatismyip.org
I use IPGrab because it's easy to remember:
# This example requires the requests library be installed. You can learn more
# about the Requests library here: http://docs.python-requests.org/en/latest/
from requests import get
ip = get('http://ipgrab.io').text
print('My public IP address is: {}'.format(ip))
There are a few other ways that do not rely on Python checking an external web site, however the OS can. Your primary issue here, is that even if you were not using Python, if you were using the command line, there are no "built-in" commands that can just simply tell you the external (WAN) IP. Commands such as "ip addr show" and "ifconfig -a" show you the server's IP address's within the network. Only the router actually holds the external IP. However, there are ways to find the external IP address (WAN IP) from the command line.
These examples are:
http://ipecho.net/plain ; echo
curl ipinfo.io/ip
dig +short myip.opendns.com #resolver1.opendns.com
dig TXT +short o-o.myaddr.l.google.com #ns1.google.com
Therefore, the python code would be:
import os
ip = os.popen('wget -qO- http://ipecho.net/plain ; echo').readlines(-1)[0].strip()
print ip
OR
import os
iN, out, err = os.popen3('curl ipinfo.io/ip')
iN.close() ; err.close()
ip = out.read().strip()
print ip
OR
import os
ip = os.popen('dig +short myip.opendns.com #resolver1.opendns.com').readlines(-1)[0].strip()
print ip
Or, plug any other of the examples above, into a command like os.popen, os.popen2, os.popen3, or os.system.
P.S. you can use "pip3 install pytis" and use/take a look at, the "getip" program, written in Python.
You can also find it's code here: https://github.com/PyTis/PyTis/blob/development/src/pytis/getip.py
I tried most of the other answers on this question here and came to find that most of the services used were defunct except one.
Here is a script that should do the trick and download only a minimal amount of information:
#!/usr/bin/env python
import urllib
import re
def get_external_ip():
site = urllib.urlopen("http://checkip.dyndns.org/").read()
grab = re.findall('([0-9]+\.[0-9]+\.[0-9]+\.[0-9]+)', site)
address = grab[0]
return address
if __name__ == '__main__':
print( get_external_ip() )
import requests
import re
def getMyExtIp():
try:
res = requests.get("http://whatismyip.org")
myIp = re.compile('(\d{1,3}\.){3}\d{1,3}').search(res.text).group()
if myIp != "":
return myIp
except:
pass
return "n/a"
Unfortunately, there is no way to get your external IP address without consulting a computer on the internet. At best, you can get the local network IP address of your network card (which is likely a 192.16.. address).
You can use the whatismyip module to get the external IP addres. It has no dependencies outside the Python 3 standard library. It connects to public STUN servers and what-is-my-ip websites to find the IPv4 or IPv6 address. Run pip install whatismyip
Example:
>>> import whatismyip
>>> whatismyip.amionline()
True
>>> whatismyip.whatismyip() # Prefers IPv4 addresses, but can return either IPv4 or IPv6.
'69.89.31.226'
>>> whatismyip.whatismyipv4()
'69.89.31.226'
>>> whatismyip.whatismyipv6()
'2345:0425:2CA1:0000:0000:0567:5673:23b5'
If the machine is being a firewall then your solution is a very sensible one: the alternative being able to query the firewall which ends-up being very dependent on the type of firewall (if at all possible).
The most simple (non python) working solution I can think of is
wget -q -O- icanhazip.com
I'd like to add a very short Python3 solution which makes use of the JSON API of http://hostip.info.
from urllib.request import urlopen
import json
url = 'http://api.hostip.info/get_json.php'
info = json.loads(urlopen(url).read().decode('utf-8'))
print(info['ip'])
You can of course add some error checking, a timeout condition and some convenience:
#!/usr/bin/env python3
from urllib.request import urlopen
from urllib.error import URLError
import json
try:
url = 'http://api.hostip.info/get_json.php'
info = json.loads(urlopen(url, timeout = 15).read().decode('utf-8'))
print(info['ip'])
except URLError as e:
print(e.reason, end=' ') # e.g. 'timed out'
print('(are you connected to the internet?)')
except KeyboardInterrupt:
pass
In [1]: import stun
stun.get_ip_info()
('Restric NAT', 'xx.xx.xx.xx', 55320)
Working with Python 2.7.6 and 2.7.13
import urllib2
req = urllib2.Request('http://icanhazip.com', data=None)
response = urllib2.urlopen(req, timeout=5)
print(response.read())
Linux only solution.
On Linux Systems, you can use Python to execute a command on the shell. I think it might help someone.
Something like this, (assuming 'dig/drill' is working on the os)
import os
command = "dig TXT +short o-o.myaddr.l.google.com #ns1.google.com | awk -F\'\"\' '{print $2}' "
ip = os.system(command)
For Arch users, please replace 'dig' with 'drill'.
I liked Sergiy Ostrovsky's answer, but I think there is an even tidier way to do this now.
Install ipify library.
pip install ipify
Import and use the library in your Python program.
import ipify
ip = ipify.get_ip()
ipWebCode = urllib.request.urlopen("http://ip.nefsc.noaa.gov").read().decode("utf8")
ipWebCode=ipWebCode.split("color=red> ")
ipWebCode = ipWebCode[1]
ipWebCode = ipWebCode.split("</font>")
externalIp = ipWebCode[0]
this is a short snippet I had written for another program. The trick was finding a simple enough website so that dissecting the html wasn't a pain.
Here's another alternative script.
def track_ip():
"""
Returns Dict with the following keys:
- ip
- latlong
- country
- city
- user-agent
"""
conn = httplib.HTTPConnection("www.trackip.net")
conn.request("GET", "/ip?json")
resp = conn.getresponse()
print resp.status, resp.reason
if resp.status == 200:
ip = json.loads(resp.read())
else:
print 'Connection Error: %s' % resp.reason
conn.close()
return ip
EDIT: Don't forget to import httplib and json
If you're just writing for yourself and not for a generalized application, you might be able to find the address on the setup page for your router and then scrape it from that page's html. This worked fine for me with my SMC router. One read and one simple RE search and I've found it.
My particular interest in doing this was to let me know my home IP address when I was away from home, so I could get back in via VNC. A few more lines of Python stores the address in Dropbox for outside access, and even emails me if it sees a change. I've scheduled it to happen on boot and once an hour thereafter.
Use this script :
import urllib, json
data = json.loads(urllib.urlopen("http://ip.jsontest.com/").read())
print data["ip"]
Without json :
import urllib, re
data = re.search('"([0-9.]*)"', urllib.urlopen("http://ip.jsontest.com/").read()).group(1)
print data
import os
public_ip = os.system("inxi -i |grep 'WAN IP'")
print(public_ip)
If you are not interested in hitting any url to get public ip, I think following code can help you to get public ip using python of your machine
import os
externalIP = os.popen("ifconfig | grep 'inet' | cut -d: -f2 | awk '{print $2}' | sed -n 3p").readline()
print externalIP
sed -n 3p line varies as per the network you are using for connecting device.
I was facing same issue, I was needed public ip of iot device which is hitting my server. but public ip is totally different in ifconfig command and ip i am getting in server from request object. after this I am adding extra param into my request to send ip of device to my server.
hope this is helpful
import os
externalIp = os.popen("ipconfig").read().split(":")[15][1:14]
some numbers may need to be changed but this works for me
I want to use Sharepoint with python (C-Python)
Has anyone tried this before ?
I suspect that since this question was answered the SUDS library has been updated to take care of the required authentication itself. After jumping through various hoops, I found this to do the trick:
from suds import WebFault
from suds.client import *
from suds.transport.https import WindowsHttpAuthenticated
user = r'SERVER\user'
password = "yourpassword"
url = "http://sharepointserver/_vti_bin/SiteData.asmx?WSDL"
ntlm = WindowsHttpAuthenticated(username = user, password = password)
client = Client(url, transport=ntlm)
To get the wsdl :
import sys
# we use suds -> https://fedorahosted.org/suds
from suds import WebFault
from suds.client import *
import urllib2
# my 2 url conf
# url_sharepoint,url_NTLM_authproxy
import myconfig as my
# build url
wsdl = '_vti_bin/SiteData.asmx?WSDL'
url = '/'.join([my.url_sharepoint,wsdl])
# we need a NTLM_auth_Proxy -> http://ntlmaps.sourceforge.net/
# follow instruction and get proxy running
proxy_handler = urllib2.ProxyHandler({'http': my.url_NTLM_authproxy })
opener = urllib2.build_opener(proxy_handler)
client = SoapClient(url, {'opener' : opener})
print client.wsdl
main (mean) problem:
the sharepoint-server uses a NTLM-Auth [ :-( ]
so i had to use the NTLM-Auth-Proxy
To Rob and Enzondio : THANKS for your hints !
SOAP with Python is pretty easy. Here's a tutorial from Dive Into Python.
SharePoint exposes several web services which you can use to query and update data.
I'm not sure what web service toolkits there are for Python but they should be able to build proxies for these services without any issues.
This article should give you enough information to get started.
