PiUp - Python - Raspberry Pi, IP FTP Upload Script

I wanted a way to upload the IP settings from my pi to a website so that I know what the host, IP settings and gateway remotely.
This allows me to set up my router on a specific port and get to the pi.
Nothing overly complicated, just puts the hostname,lan and wan IP and uploads to a web server.
Here is the PiUp.py script with the zip file below. You will have to edit with your own FTP settings.
I added a try/except block around some of the functions for a cleaner output when wifi is down and will try to get them
pasted in sometime. That way instead of an error you get a "gateway not available" message.

You may need to install python 3 or 3.5 else you will get an error message that it cannot process some functions. (fencode if I recall)
I would recommend python3 because installing 3.5 seemed to mess up a few things on my pi like the thonny editor.
3 comes on the pi so I am not sure why I went to 3.5, I probably shouldn't have but did not think it would mess anything up.
-------- To install python3.5 (or greater) on a fresh rasp -------------
1. wget https://www.python.org/ftp/python/3.5.2/Python-3.5.2.tar.xz
2. tar -xvf Python-3.5.2.tar.xz
3. cd Python-3.5.2
4. ./configure
5. make
6 make altinstall
------------- end python install
note: The altinstall I had to run using sudo.

I set up crontab for it to run every hour with crontab -e
0 * * * * python3.5 /home/pi/bin/piup.py # JOB_ID_1

Enjoy.
