NameError: name 'gethostname' is not defined

host = gethostbyname(gethostname())
NameError: name 'gethostbyname' is not defined

I need some help, can't figure out what's amiss

Here is the code: 

conn = socket.socket(socket.AF_PACKET, socket.SOCK_RAW, socket.ntohs(3)) host = gethostbyname(gethostname()) conn.bind((host, 80)).

I am trying my hands on a simple packet sniffer in Python.

You have to firstly import the socket.gethostbyname function as:

from socket import gethostbyname

Then your code
