I am launching a container with network_mode = bridge, when I inspect the network container in the terminal I get the container IP address.

docker inspect -f '{{range .NetworkSettings.Networks}}{{.IPAddress}}{{end}}' container_id

However, I can't get this IP address from the container object. Is there any solution without searching the container in the network object?

Here is an example:

import docker

client = docker.DockerClient()
container = client.containers.get("magical_meitner")
ip_add = container.attrs['NetworkSettings']['IPAddress']
print(ip_add)
user_81926350

If the IP doesn't return from container.attrs['NetworkSettings']['IPAddress'] as suggested here, try the following:

network_name = "my_net"
container["NetworkSettings"]["Networks"][network_name]["IPAddress"]

For me, this was the case when the containers were created with docker-compose, with an external network.
