Show DevBest [PY] GetIP

[Sway]

This is a simple script I cooked up in Python in about 15 minutes to get the IP of a website. It is complete with exception handlers and bootleg loops (function calling here and there).

The purpose of this script is to retrieve the IP address of a website or hostname. It'll ask you if you wish to do it again, which then you will be able to enter the common responses to a question like that (yes, yeah, no, yup, ok, etc) and it will perform according to your response.

Snippet:

def getIP(): #this is the main part of the program
    try:
        host = input("Website: ")
        ip = socket.gethostbyname(host)
    except socket.gaierror:
        print("Invalid address!")
        again()
    finally: 
        print ("IP: %s" % ip)
        again() #this calls the function below

It is complete with comments and is to be used for educational purposes. You need Python 3.x to run this script. If you have any questions, comments, or concerns, don't hesitate to ask!

I may be wrong. But couldn't you just use CMD? xD

You could I guess.

URL url = new URL("http://google.ca");
System.out.println(url.getHost());
InetAddress address = InetAddress.getByName(url.getHost());
System.out.println(address.toString());

Java is better. Close Thread

Nice script, Thanks for share

@Wassim
Thanks.

@Stanleh

ip = socket.gethostbyname("http://google.ca")
print ip

I don't see how that contributes to the thread but I'll surely play along: putting the Python code above and your Java code side to side.. how is the Java code better?

I feel bad for the mod who has to clean this thread

But really, this is a nice release. I've been looking to learn Python for sometime now. Good job

Pretty neat, thanks for the script.

Thread cleaned.

Who cares what language is better? Someone will need this and whether it gets used or not,

probably only did it for educational purposes anyway.

Nice release.
