I have just started to make a simple socket "chat" server where users connect to my server through telnet. I was wondering how I could get the connected users IP address so that It would print out that users message like so:

IP address: "Hello"

This is the code I am using so far:

def broadcast(self, message):
      for sessions in self.sessions:
          sessions.push('>>' + message + '\r\n')

Thanks in advance, If you need any more information please ask.
