"""Simple utility for building a list of local IPs using the socket module.
This module defines two constants:

LOCALHOST : The loopback interface, or the first interface that points to this
            machine.  It will *almost* always be '127.0.0.1'

LOCAL_IPS : A list of IP addresses, loopback first, that point to this machine.
