Absolutely, I’d be glad to help you with that! Getting the hostname from an IP address in Python involves using the socket library, which provides a way to perform hostname resolution. Here’s a step-by-step tutorial:
Start by importing the socket library, which provides access to the operating system’s networking capabilities.
Define a function that takes an IP address as input and returns the associated hostname using the gethostbyaddr() method from the socket library.
You can now use the get_hostname_from_ip() function by passing the IP address as an argument to retrieve the associated hostname.
For instance, when using an actual IP address, the code might output something like this:
Remember to replace ‘192.168.1.1’ with the IP address you want to look up.
This approach uses the DNS (Domain Name System) to resolve the hostname associated with the provided IP address. Keep in mind that in certain cases, especially on local networks or private systems, the resolution might not work due to network configurations or access restrictions.
This should cover the process of obtaining a hostname from an IP address in Python using the socket library.
