Comment (by zooko):

 Okay, now I have a question: how often does
 {{{iputil.get_local_ip_for()}}} ''fail'' and the subprocess code succeed?
 When we first started using this technique it was literally 14 years ago,
 in 1999, at Mojo Nation, and at the time it seemed like the subprocess
 technique was necessary to get a high success rate of figuring our your
 own IP address. I have no idea if that is really true today.
