I just use bash itself. It's a little more typing, but more adaptable
and readable.
set -- $(cat /proc/cmdline)
for arg in "$@"; do
case $arg in
ip=*)
ip=${arg#ip=}

esac
done
Of course, you could use --interpreter /usr/bin/python, in which case,
you'd have:
for arg in open('/proc/cmdline').read().split():
if arg[0:3] == "ip=":
ip = arg[3:]
