Python - How can I get just the IP from socket.getpeername()?

Question

I am curious to know how you can return ONLY the IP address of the connected user using

ip = socket.getpeername()

Because whenever I use that in my server it returns the IP and socket port, I only want the IP, or at least a way to replace the port with Null... I tried using the replace function but that just gives me an error

attributeError: 'tuple' object has no attribute 'replace

Answer 1

As the error suggests, getpeername returns a tuple. To get the IP you should simply take the first element:

ip = socket.getpeername()[0]
