Detect the OS with os.name and branch out to specific use case.

The specific functionality can be implemented 2 ways:
1/ Regular expression pattern match
2/ Substring match and splits

The subprocess module will then let you run those commands.
1/ posix - (Linux in your case) will use ifconfig
2/ nt - (windows in your ase) will use ipconfig.

HTH.
