Detect Yuns on local subnet

What kind of message do the Yuns broadcast such that the Arduino IDE can detect them? I'm trying to detect all the Yuns on the local subnet (they all get dynamic IPs from the router) with a Python application.

@wuxiekeji,
the system goes by different names. On Windows it is called Zero-configuration; on Apple it is called Bonjour. The industry name is mDNS (Multicast DNS).

With the Yun, the system is an AP, and therefore broadcasts the name as such. I'm not sure with Yun if you can have multiple mDNS clients on a single network --- without issues.

Can you tell use more about what you want to do?
