If you are one of the very very few to remember a shell script that I wrote a while back that let’s you know your WAN IP address from the command line (ipchicken<\/a>), I wrote a replacement for it in python. I hope this is useful to you:<\/p>\n

ipchicken.py<\/strong><\/p>\n

#!\/usr\/bin\/env python\r\nimport re\r\nimport urllib\r\nimport socket\r\nimport sys\r\n\r\n#Test that ipchicken.com is up#\r\nvar = socket.socket()\r\ntry:\r\n        var.connect(('www.ipchicken.com', 80))\r\n        var.close()\r\nexcept socket.error:\r\n        var.close()\r\n        print \"www.iphicken.com seems to be down..\"\r\n        sys.exit(1)\r\n\r\nvar = urllib.urlopen('http:\/\/www.ipchicken.com')\r\nvar = str(var.readlines())\r\n\r\nreg = \"[0-9]{1,3}\\.[0-9]{1,3}\\.[0-9]{1,3}\\.[0-9]{1,3}\"\r\n\r\nfor ip in re.findall(reg, var):\r\n        print \"\"\"Your WAN IP address is: %s \\nBrought to you by www.ipchicken.com\"\"\" % ip\r\nsys.exit(0)<\/pre>\n
Also, the beauty behind this, is that all you need is python and it should work on any operating system that supports python.<\/p>\n
Of course, if you have dog<\/strong> for Linux, then you can get the same affect with just a quick one liner:<\/p>\n
dog http:\/\/www.ipchicken.com | egrep -wo \"[[:digit:]]{1,3}\\.[[:digit:]]{1,3}\\.[[:digit:]]{1,3}\\.[[:digit:]]{1,3}\"\r\n<\/pre>\n
