I have a string representing a domain name. How can I get the corresponding IP address using Python 3.x? Something like this:
>>> get_ip('http://www.stackoverflow.com')
'64.34.119.12'

>>> print(repr(ips))
('www.l.google.com', [], ['74.125.77.104', '74.125.77.147', '74.125.77.99'])
Python 3.1.3 (r313:86834, Nov 27 2010, 18:30:53) [MSC v.1500 32 bit (Intel)] on win32
>>> import socket
>>> socket.gethostbyname('cool-rr.com')
'174.120.139.162'
Note that:
If these are problematic, use socket.getaddrinfo() instead.
The easiest way is to use socket.gethostbyname()
. This does not support IPv6, though, and is based on the deprecated C call gethostbanme()
. If you care about these problems, you can use the more versatile socket.getaddrinfo()
instead.
