Determin network interface

[jakobsg@gmail.com]

Hi. How can I determin the hwaddr or ipaddress of the networkinterfac e
that is used in an outgoing connection? I need a kind of traceroute in
python or lowlevel socket function that can help me find out which one
of my hosts networkinterfac es that is actually used or going to be used
to reach a certain remote host. Can I do this?

Is sock_object.get sockname() enough?
