Python: get default gateway for a local interface/ip address in linux

Question

On Linux, how can I find the default gateway for a local ip address/interface using python?

I saw the question \"How to get internal IP, external IP and default gate

Answer 1

for Mac:

import subprocess

def get_default_gateway():
    route_default_result = str(subprocess.check_output(["route", "get", "default"]))
    start = 'gateway: '
    end = '\\n'
    if 'gateway' in route_default_result:
        return (route_default_result.split(start))[1].split(end)[0]

print(get_default_gateway())
