PyQT QFileDialog - get full directory including IP of disk

I'd like to get full path of my directory, something like:

//192.168.1.23/D/test/test/aaaa/

or

//192.168.1.23/D:/test/test/aaaa/

How can I get QFileDialog to give me the IP address of the HDD that I have selected?

Currently using 

self.project= str(QtGui.QFileDialog.getExistingDirectory(self,  "Select Directory", lastDir))

tried going via os.path.dirname(self.project) but that only ever goes down to D:\

Thanks!

Solution

  • Not sure where I found it but here is the option I followed at the end. I let user decide then which device to use for location

    from netifaces import interfaces, ifaddresses, AF_INET
p =[]
for ifaceName in interfaces():
    addresses = [i['addr'] for i in ifaddresses(ifaceName).setdefault(AF_INET, [{'addr':'No IP addr'}] )]
    p.append(ifaceName.join(addresses))   

print p[0],p[1]
print p
