Fifty million ways to get the hostname, choose one.

import os,socket,platform,re
print socket.gethostname()
print platform.uname()[1]
print platform.node()

But I couldn’t find a way to get the shortname without a system call to ‘hostname -s’. This is the best I could come up with, which would work with any of the above methods.

import os,re
print re.sub(r'\..*', '', os.uname()[1])
