socket can be used to get the system hostname in a Python script. In this example, the full system hostname will be printed.
#!/bin/python
import socket
print(socket.gethostname())
In this example, only the first field of the hostname will be printed (short).
#!/bin/python
import socket
print(socket.gethostname().split('.', 1)[0])
