Nope. In out-of-the-box simple network setups (i.e. home network 
in the form PC/laptop -> router -> internet) the address 
resolution won't go further than your hosts file, which in turn 
will always give you back the loopback address (more 
specifically, the address that is specified for the hostname in 
aforementioned file).

That's why both I and Dicebot mentioned there isn't any real way 
to query your local addresses without any live connection: only 
when a socket has a connection within a particular network can 
you tell your own IP address in that network. The address itself 
would depend on the network setup, your local routing 
configuration, etc. Your machine can have several network 
adaptors (ethernet boards, Wi-Fi, etc.), each configured with 
(numerous) routing setups, plus the routers they're connected to 
have their own routing setups... This can go on and on.
