It's also possible using existing wrapped os system calls. One exaple is here: http://code.google.com/p/pycopia/source/browse/trunk/aid/pycopia/ifconfig.py

Although that one doesn't current support MAC addresses, but it could. The socket module also now support the netlink socket on Linux, so it shouldbe possible to use that for getting MAC address on Linux.
