How do I get my computer's fully qualified domain name in Python?

Question

I know I can use platform.node() to get my computer's network name:

>>> import platform >>> platform.node() 'MyComputerName' 

But what I really want is something that will work similar to the following:

>>> get_full_network_domain_name() 'MyComputerName.it.na.mycompany.com' 

Does something like this exist?

Answer 1

The fully qualified domain name is returned by socket.getfqdn().
