How to get IP address of client from CGI module?

[John Nagle]

The documentation for Python's CGI module doesn't seem to say how to get
the IP address of the client. Don't see an obvious way to get that info
from reading the source, either. Ideas?

Read the CGI RFC.

http://www.ietf.org/rfc/rfc3875

Specifically section 4.1.8.

This value should be supplied by way of variable in os.environ as are
all the CGI variables.
