How to get Network Interface Card names in Python?

Question

I am totally new to python programming so please be patient with me.

Is there anyway to get the names of the NIC cards in the machine etc. eth0, lo? If so how do you

Answer 1

There is a python package get-nic which gives NIC status, up\down, ip addr, mac addr etc

pip install get-nic

from get_nic import getnic

getnic.interfaces()

Output: ["eth0", "wlo1"]

interfaces = getnic.interfaces()
getnic.ipaddr(interfaces)

Output: 
{'lo': {'state': 'UNKNOWN', 'inet4': '127.0.0.1/8', 'inet6': '::1/128'}, 'enp3s0': {'state': 'DOWN', 'HWaddr': 'a4:5d:36:c2:34:3e'}, 'wlo1': {'state': 'UP', 'HWaddr': '48:d2:24:7f:63:10', 'inet4': '10.16.1.34/24', 'inet6': 'fe80::ab4a:95f7:26bd:82dd/64'}}
