Merge pull request #4305 from minrk/even-more-ways-to-get-ifaces Add even more ways to populate localinterfaces use netifaces for faster IPython.utils.localinterfaces when availlable, Parse subprocess output from ifconfig / ip addr / ipconfig. Lower priority than netifaces, but still higher priority than socket.gethostbyname. Fallback to gethostname otherwise. Should be much faster in worst case scenario where machine are badly configurred and can wait up to ~30s to start ipython. Slighly slower in other cases.
