How can I get the client ip address in django?

Question

I am building an application in Django that gets the ip address of the user to track their location. And once their location is determined, I want to be able to figure if their signup date coincides with a holiday in their country.

How can I do this?

Client IP is send to your Django application from your web server (Nginx for example) you can access it in request like this:

def get_client_ip(request):
    x_forwarded_for = request.META.get('HTTP_X_FORWARDED_FOR')
    if x_forwarded_for:
       ip = x_forwarded_for.split(',')[0]
    else:
       ip = request.META.get('REMOTE_ADDR')
    return ip
