IN.SIOCGIFADDR isn't set in /usr/lib/python2.4/plat-linux2/IN.py

[Olivier Cortès]

considering that I wanted to find my IP address in python, i ran a modified version of : http://mail.python.org/pipermail/python-list/1999-August/009100.html

I encountered the following error : IN.SIOCGIFADDR is not defined in IN.py. In fact, IN.py lacks *many* values from original SIOC*...
IN.py says it was generated from /usr/include/netinet/in.h, but this file has *no* references at all to SIOC*. On other hand, I think that /usr/include/linux/sockios.h is the right file to use to have all SIOC* defines.

Anyway, if I use 0x8915 in my code, in place of IN.SIOCGIFADDR, the code works as expected, but that's weird... There is an inconsistency somewhere.

Or have I missed something ? (I totally could, i'm pretty new at python and digging in /usr/include, my C skills are the bare minimum...)
