How to access the current Shotgun connection parameters?

I'm writing a python package which relies on data from the shotgun integration package. Specifically, I need to know what the shotgun's current connection URL is. After doing some research I think this cannot be done without getting dirty. 

 

Any ideas?

Thanks.

    Hi José,

    If RV is connected to Shotgun then you should be able to use the following to locate that information:

    try:
        from pymu import MuSymbol
        print "_url", MuSymbol('shotgun_mode.theMode')()['_shotgunState']['_serverURL']
    except:
        print("ERROR: Could not get Shotgun URL!")

    Hope that helps. Please let us know.

    Thanks,
    Jon

    It was recently brought up that this doesn't provide the desirable server if you have multiple servers.  With RV+Shotgun (starting around Version 6), we started managing licenses a bit differently.  You can now use:



    from pymu import MuSymbol
    sessionData = MuSymbol("slutils.retrieveSessionsData")
    getServerUrl = MuSymbol("slutils.getServerUrlFromSession")

    # Ask for current session data, get the first one which is the active one, then extract the server url.
    print getServerUrl(sessionData()[0])
