Oracle Drags Its Feet in the JavaScript Trademark Dispute
Oracle seeks to dismiss fraud claims in the JavaScript trademark dispute, delaying the case and avoiding questions about its right to the name.
This library provides an easy way to get vendor information from a MAC address. It contains a local copy of the IEEE's OUI prefix list. It has an asynchronous interface using Python 3's asyncio as well as a regular synchronous interface for old-school usage.
pip install mac-vendor-lookup
from mac_vendor_lookup import MacLookup
print(MacLookup().lookup("00:80:41:12:FE"))
Output:
VEB KOMBINAT ROBOTRON
The library contains a list of MAC prefixes obtained at build-time. If you need up-to-date information, you can
download a fresh copy of the list directly from IEEE with MacLookup.update_vendors
or AsyncMacLookup.update_vendors
:
from mac_vendor_lookup import MacLookup
mac = MacLookup()
mac.update_vendors() # <- This can take a few seconds for the download
def find_mac(mac_address):
print(mac.lookup(mac_address))
The library stores and looks for the list of MAC prefixes in a group predefined defaults paths. If a custom
directory is required, then override the class variable cache_path
of class BaseMacLookup(...)
from it default
location of: os.path.expanduser('~/.cache/mac-vendors.txt')
to your prefered location.
from mac_vendor_lookup import MacLookup, BaseMacLookup
BaseMacLookup.cache_path = "/relative/or/absolute/path/to/the/prefered/storage/location"
mac = MacLookup()
mac.update_vendors() # <- This can take a few seconds for the download and it will be stored in the new path
def find_mac(mac_address):
print(mac.lookup(mac_address))
There is also an asynchronous interface available:
from mac_vendor_lookup import AsyncMacLookup
async def main():
mac = AsyncMacLookup()
print(await mac.lookup("98:ED:5C:FF:EE:01"))
Output:
Tesla Motors, Inc
This library provides a rudimentary command line interface:
$ mac_vendor_lookup 50-D3-7F-00-01-00
Yu Fly Mikly Way Science and Technology Co., Ltd.
$ python3 -m mac_vendor_lookup 00:26:12:12:FE
