import socket
def get_local_ip():
    try:
        with socket.socket(socket.AF_INET, socket.SOCK_DGRAM) as s:
            s.connect(("8.8.8.8", 80))

        return local_ip
    except Exception as e:
        return f"Unable to get local IP address: {e}"

# Example usage
local_ip_address = get_local_ip()
print(f"Your laptop's local IP address is {local_ip_address}")

The except could contain the actual IP-retrieval way. Kind of a fallback.
What do you think?
