This hostname can be completely unique and can be used to differentiate between devices. Usually, the combinations of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.pythonpool.com\/python-ascii-to-string\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">ascii<\/a> characters are used as Hostname, but it may vary depending on the network.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In many cases, if the device hostnames are changed forcefully, <strong>two or more devices can have the same Hostname<\/strong>. Even tho they have the same hostname, but they can have different MAC addresses.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-ways-to-get-hostname-in-python\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Ways_to_Get_Hostname_in_Python\"><\/span>Ways to Get Hostname in Python<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>There are several ways to get a hostname in Python by using modules. Each of these modules has different ways of functioning and can behave <strong>differently <\/strong>on different <strong>operating systems<\/strong>. Some of them might work perfectly in Linux and not in Windows or vice versa. Make sure you check them on all platforms before implementing them in your code.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Following are some fo the ways you can get hostname &#8211;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol class=\"has-white-color has-vivid-cyan-blue-background-color has-text-color has-background\"><li><strong>Socket gethostname Function<\/strong><\/li><li><strong>Platform Module<\/strong><\/li><li><strong>Os Module<\/strong><\/li><li><strong>Using socket gethostbyaddr Function<\/strong><\/li><\/ol>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-1-socket-gethostname-function\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"1_Socket_gethostname_Function\"><\/span>1. <strong>Socket gethostname Function<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size\"><strong>Code:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-syntaxhighlighter-code \"><pre class=\"brush: python; title: ; notranslate\" title=\"\">\nimport socket\nprint(socket.gethostname())\n<\/pre><\/div>\n\n\n<p><strong>Output:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<pre class=\"wp-block-code\"><code>DESKTOP-PYTHONPOOL<\/code><\/pre>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size\"><strong>Explanation:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Socket module is one of the most important networking modules in Python.

This can be done in many ways in Python by using Regex, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.pythonpool.com\/urllib-error-httperror-http-error-403-forbidden\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">urllib<\/a>, string splitting, or other modules. All of them work most of the time, but urllib is optimal to work all the time because it&#8217;s from the networking module and is present by default. So you don&#8217;t have to code anything fancy for it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size\"><strong>Code:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-syntaxhighlighter-code \"><pre class=\"brush: python; title: ; notranslate\" title=\"\">\n&lt;pre class=&quot;wp-block-syntaxhighlighter-code&quot;&gt;from urllib.parse import &lt;a href=&quot;https:\/\/web.archive.org\/web\/20240926040410\/https:\/\/www.pythonpool.com\/urlparse\/&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot; rel=&quot;noopener&quot;&gt;urlparse&lt;\/a&gt;\n\nurl = urlparse('https:\/\/web.archive.org\/web\/20240926040410\/https:\/\/www.pythonpool.com\/for-vs-while-loop-python\/' )\nhost = '{uri.scheme}:\/\/{uri.netloc}\/'.format(uri=url)\nprint(host)&lt;\/pre&gt;\n<\/pre><\/div>\n\n\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size\"><strong>Output:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<pre class=\"wp-block-code\"><code>https:&#47;&#47;www.pythonpool.com\/<\/code><\/pre>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Explanation:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>We first start by importing urlparse from the urllib parser. This can be used to parse the URLs into understandable strings. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.pythonpool.com\/urlparse\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><\/a>As soon as we initialize urlparse() with a URL, it&#8217;ll break down the URL into scheme, netloc, params, query, and fragment. Then we can use the scheme and netlock to get the protocol and hostnames from the URL.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-get-hostname-from-ip-in-python\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Get_Hostname_from_IP_in_Python\"><\/span>Get Hostname from IP in Python<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Sometimes, you have the IP addresses in your code results. Then by using them, you can easily deduce the hostnames of the servers. But importantly, your IP should be working and reachable by your network. In the following example, I&#8217;ve used 8.8.8.8 as IP, which is Google&#8217;s <a href=\"https:\/\/www.pythonpool.com\/python-ddns\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">DNS<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"298\" src=\"https:\/\/www.pythonpool.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/07\/Get-Hostname-Python-Using-IP-1024x298.png\" alt=\"Get Hostname from IP in Python\" class=\"wp-image-14657\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.pythonpool.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/07\/Get-Hostname-Python-Using-IP-1024x298.png 1024w, https:\/\/www.pythonpool.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/07\/Get-Hostname-Python-Using-IP-300x87.png 300w, https:\/\/www.pythonpool.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/07\/Get-Hostname-Python-Using-IP-768x223.png 768w, https:\/\/www.pythonpool.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/07\/Get-Hostname-Python-Using-IP-1536x446.png 1536w, https:\/\/www.pythonpool.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/07\/Get-Hostname-Python-Using-IP.png 2048w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size\"><strong>Code:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-syntaxhighlighter-code \"><pre class=\"brush: python; title: ; notranslate\" title=\"\">\nimport socket\nprint(socket.gethostbyaddr(&quot;8.8.8.8&quot;))\n<\/pre><\/div>\n\n\n<p><strong>Output:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<pre class=\"wp-block-code\"><code>('dns.google', &#91;], &#91;'8.8.8.8'])<\/code><\/pre>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size\"><strong>Explanation:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>We start by importing the socket module and then calling the gethostbyaddr function.
