Dears I was planning to extract my Subnet mask, I had used the below code but the subnetmask is always 255.255.255.255 which is wrong

import socket                      


        

Answer 1

There are alternatives to netifaces on Windows. You can retrieve the interface information using wmic. wmic has a machine readable output option using XML:

wmic nic get /format:rawxml 

A python example to parse this output is available.
