For those people who don't want an extra dependency and don't like calling subprocesses, here's how you do it yourself by reading /proc/net/route directly:
import socket, struct

"""Read the default gateway directly from /proc."""
with open("/proc/net/route") as fh:
for line in fh:
fields = line.strip().split()
if fields[1] != '00000000' or not int(fields[3], 16) & 2:
continue
return socket.inet_ntoa(struct.pack("
I don't have a big-endian machine to test on, so I'm not sure whether the endianness is dependent on your processor architecture, but if it is, replace the < in struct.pack('
