How do I get user IP address in django

How do I get user's IP in django?

I have a view like this:

# Create your views
from django.contrib.gis.utils import GeoIP
from django.template import  RequestContext
from django.shortcuts import render_to_response


def home(request):
  g = GeoIP()
  client_ip = request.META['REMOTE_ADDR']
  lat,long = g.lat_lon(client_ip)
  return render_to_response('home_page_tmp.html',locals())

But I get this error:

KeyError at /mypage/
    'REMOTE_ADDR'
    Request Method: GET
    Request URL:    https://www.edureka.co/mypage/
    Django Version: 1.2.4
    Exception Type: KeyError
    Exception Value:    
    'REMOTE_ADDR'
    Exception Location: /mysite/homepage/views.py in home, line 9
    Python Executable:  /usr/bin/python
    Python Version: 2.6.6
    Python Path:    ['/mysite', '/usr/local/lib/python2.6/dist-packages/flup-1.0.2-py2.6.egg', '/usr/lib/python2.6', '/usr/lib/python2.6/plat-linux2', '/usr/lib/python2.6/lib-tk', '/usr/lib/python2.6/lib-old', '/usr/lib/python2.6/lib-dynload', '/usr/local/lib/python2.6/dist-packages', '/usr/lib/python2.6/dist-packages', '/usr/lib/pymodules/python2.6']

Hii Kartik,

check uwsgi + django source code and pass static param in nginx and see why/how, and below is what I have found.

Env info:
python version: 2.7.5
Django version: (1, 6, 6, 'final', 0)
nginx version: nginx/1.6.0
uwsgi: 2.0.7

Env setting info:
nginx as reverse proxy listening at port 80 uwsgi as upstream unix socket, will response to the request eventually

Django config info:

USE_X_FORWARDED_HOST = True # with or without this line does not matter

nginx config:

uwsgi_param      X-Real-IP              $remote_addr;
// uwsgi_param   X-Forwarded-For        $proxy_add_x_forwarded_for;
// uwsgi_param   HTTP_X_FORWARDED_FOR   $proxy_add_x_forwarded_for;

// hardcode for testing
uwsgi_param      X-Forwarded-For        "10.10.10.10";
uwsgi_param      HTTP_X_FORWARDED_FOR   "20.20.20.20";
