I think that's OS specific. You can do:

port = reactor.listenUDP(9000, udpprotocol)
print port.getHost() # this returns t.i.address.IPv4Address object

but that won't tell you about multiple IPs.

You don't. You stop *ports* from listening.

E.g.

port = reactor.listenTCP(8080, factory)
port.stopListening()

port = reactor.listenUDP(1234, udpportocol)
port.stopListening()

wx integration is broken. As far as I can tell best option is running it
in separate thread... or better yet, not using wx at all.
