Was not able to implement your program

This was what I did:

1. I use Spyder for writing and compiling my python code and same I did with your code. I have not yet run your code but I will tell you at what step I would.
   --> error: pynput not installed
   --> fixed it by installing the same pynput and "import pynput" runs flawlessly
2. Downloaded the Sensor Node Free app from playstore
   --> Opened it, clicked on the option "stream"
   --> it then asked me 2 options: 1.) Stream live data(XML) and 2.) Stream live data(MQTT)
   --> I clicked on the 1st one, then I checked the boxes for Accelerometer and Light Intensity.
   --> Asked for Target IP Address: I filled my Laptop's IP Add. by looking it up through the command "ipconfig" in CMD.(Note: My laptop is sharing internet with my mobile through it's[ mobile's ] hotspot service.)
   --> Asked for Port number, I filled 5555 but the thing to note is I modified the value of ip and port in your py program according to what I entered in that android app.
3. Clicked on the activate stream button in the app
4. Then ran your program in Spyder IDE but nothing happened !
   Please help me !

use socket to get host ip

To make sure everyone (and even you when your ip will change) can use this app you can use socket to get the host ip.

hostname=socket.gethostname()   
ip_address=socket.gethostbyname(hostname)

ip = '192.168.1.17'
