Get URL sub subdomain

I'm using the following Python snippet to get a URL:

address = self.request.url

This gives me the URL when it looks like:

http://domain.tld

or

http://sub.domain.tld

But my URL looks like this:

http://sub.sub.domain.tld

In this case the code doesn't return a URL at all. In the end I have to get the first 'sub' domain from the URL. But I can't continue if the code doesn't work when a URL has two subdomains.

Does anyone have any idea how to solve this issue?

What self.request.url is from seems unanswered. It reminds me of google app engine though, so in the off-chance that you are using GAE, you can use

self.request.host_url

to get the host url or 

self.request.path_url

to get the url without the query parameters.

Source: http://docs.webob.org/en/latest/reference.html

My apologies if this has nothing to do with what you're asking.

If you are OK with plain python script,

import urlparse
address = urlparse("http://sub.sub.domain.tld")

print address.netloc
print address.path
print address.scheme

From the information provided I can't give you an answer per se. But I can give some troubleshooting information. If the request.url is empty then there is probably another reason that it is not being populated.

I understand that this is a GAE request object. Which inherits from WebOb.

The request object has a number of other attributes. Try printing them all and seeing what they contain. 

print self.request.host
print self.request.host_url
print self.request.scheme   # should be 'http'

If these are all empty then it sounds like the request object is not being created properly. That could be your underlying problem.
