Setting up local ip over wireless network to create a local server on Ubuntu

Question

I'm using GNU/Linux Ubuntu 13.04 Raring Ringtail x32 bits. I have a wireless network connection in my house and I want that others computers connected see my localhost.

I created a web page using Python Django 1.4 and it listen in http://localhost:8000/. I read about it, but, I don't undertood about how to setting up my local ip.

When I write this in the terminal ifconfig, it shows this:

eth0 Link encap:Ethernet HWaddr 18:a9:05:dd:32:fc
    UP BROADCAST MULTICAST MTU:1500 Metric:1
    RX packets:0 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 frame:0

    collisions:0 txqueuelen:1000
    RX bytes:0 (0.0 B) TX bytes:0 (0.0 B)

How to setting up it to see my local website in others computers using my wireless connection.

Thanks so much for your help!

You can bind your Django server to your machine's IP address and then hit that on your other machines on the same LAN:

$ python manage.py runserver 192.168.1.18:8000
