How can I get the default machine domain name in Python using a portable way?

Question

I am looking for a Python solution for obtaining the current machine default domain name, one that will work on Linux, Mac OS X and Windows.

So far I discovered that:

Linux has dnsdomainname which returns it

Have you tried the solution here?

Try:

#!/usr/bin/env python

import socket

def get_dns_domain():
    return socket.getfqdn().split('.', 1)[1]

print (get_dns_domain()) # to match python>2.7
