Answer
This will fetch your remote IP address
import urllib ip = urllib.urlopen('http://automation.whatismyip.com/n09230945.asp').read()
If you don’t want to rely on someone else, then just upload something like this PHP script:
<?php echo $_SERVER['REMOTE_ADDR']; ?>
and change the URL in the Python or if you prefer ASP:
<% Dim UserIPAddress UserIPAddress = Request.ServerVariables("REMOTE_ADDR") %>
Note: I don’t know ASP, but I figured it might be useful to have here so I googled.
