How to use gethostbyname with max script

If I wanted to get the IP address of my Windows PC in Python, I would use the following code

import socket host = socket.gethostname() ipaddress = socket.gethostbyname(host)

I want to do this in Max Script, so I wrote the following code, but it did not work.

socket = python.import "socket" host = socket.gethostname ipaddress = socket.gethostbyname host

Error message is this

-- Error occurred in anonymous codeblock; filename: ; position: 14; line: 1 -- Type error: Call needs function or class, got: undefined -- MAXScript callstack: -- thread data: threadID:24508 -- ------------------------------------------------------ -- [stack level: 0] -- In top-level -- Error occurred in anonymous codeblock; filename: ; position: 43; line: 2 -- Unknown property: "gethostname" in undefined -- MAXScript callstack: -- thread data: threadID:24508 -- ------------------------------------------------------ -- [stack level: 0] -- In top-level -- Error occurred in anonymous codeblock; filename: ; position: 75; line: 3 -- Unknown property: "gethostbyname" in undefined -- MAXScript callstack: -- thread data: threadID:24508 -- ------------------------------------------------------ -- [stack level: 0] -- In top-level

Your simplified example works (once the function call is completed with parentheses), what does the complete code that gives you errors look like?
