Description : Get MAC addresses of remote hosts and local interfaces in Python
This pure-Python package retrieves the MAC address of network interfaces and
hosts on the local network. It supports various platforms, providing a
consistent interface to fetch MAC addresses by interface name, IPv4/IPv6
address, or hostname. The primary function is `get_mac_address()`.
.
Features:
- Platform-independent and pure-Python implementation.
- Fetch MAC addresses of system network interfaces.
- Retrieve MAC addresses of remote hosts on the local network.
.
Usage examples include fetching MAC addresses for different interfaces,
IP addresses, and hostnames. The package also includes a command-line tool
for quick usage.
I plan to maintain this package as part of the Python team.
