You can use the free IPify service together with requests to get your current IPv4 address:

#!/usr/bin/env python3
import requests

def get_current_ipv4():
    """Get the current external IPv4 address or return None if no connection to the IPify service is possible"""
    try:
        return requests.get("https://api4.ipify.org", timeout=5).text
    except requests.exceptions.ConnectionError as ex:
        return None

# Usage example
print(get_current_ipv4()) # Prints e.g. 95.216.138.188
