You can use the os module to get it from your environment.

>>> import os
>>> os.getenv('HOSTNAME')
'calvin.watterson'

Depending on your operating system, the environment variable you need
might have a different name. For example, I think in Windows you
might try

>>> os.getenv('COMPUTERNAME')

You can see all of the environment variables currently available with

>>> os.environ

I hope this helps,

Tim
