Covers pretty much every which way to get the info without shelling out.

hmmm - i don't read too much python but this looks like shelling out:


def getmacs_ifconfig():
"""parses the output of unix ifconfig to find mac addresses"""
lines = os.popen("ifconfig", "r").readlines()
headerlines = [line for line in lines if line and not
line[:1].isspace()]
for line in headerlines:
parts = line.split()
ifname = parts[0]
if 'HWaddr' in parts:
hwpart = parts.index('HWaddr')
if hwpart+1 < len(parts):
mac = parts[hwpart+1]
yield mac

def getmacs_ipconfig():
"""parses the output of windows ipconfig to find MAC addresses"""
lines = os.popen("ipconfig /all", "r").readlines()
for line in lines:
if line and not line[:1].isspace():
header = line
ipaddress, mac = None, None
elif line.strip():
if line.strip().startswith("IP Address") and ":" in line:
ipaddress = line.split(":", 1)[1].strip()
if mac:
yield mac
ipaddress, mac = None, None
if line.strip().startswith("Physical Address") and ":" in
line:
mac = line.split(":", 1)[1].strip()
if ipaddress:
yield mac
ipaddress, mac = None, None



you are right that's it's more complete though! if anyone wants to
add a test for their platform porting using this lib as 'doc' i'm
happy to add it

cheers.

But, if you use Python, you are selling out!

Yes, that's all I meant - that it had a bunch of alternative
implementations.
