Not really for my use case -- it isn't that *I* want to know my public IP address, but rather that IPython wants to know it.  Of course I could patch IPython's source to use netifaces but that sounds like an overkill.

As it happens I found a better way: just add the proper entry to /etc/hosts.

Still, thanks for the suggestions.
