I tried get Mac adders in python 3.6.2,i wrote code bellow to get it:

from uuid import getnode 
address=getnode()
h = iter(hex(address)[2:].zfill(12))
print(":".join(i + next(h) for i in h))

but it print mistake,for example,if my Mac adders is ff:ff:ff:ff:ff:12,it print ff:ff:ff:ff:ff:25. How fix it?

    `uuid.getnode()` is not a good way to get the MAC **address**. It could return the address of any device in the system or even be random. – Klaus D. Aug 27 '17 at 06:41

This can be achieved using the netifaces module.

  1. Import the module:

    >>> import netifaces

  2. Get all the interfaces present 

    >>> netifaces.interfaces()  
['lo', 'eth0', 'tun2']

  3. Extract Mac address of selected interface eg. eth0

    >>> netifaces.ifaddresses('eth0')[netifaces.AF_LINK] 
[{'addr': '00:00:00:00:00:00', 'broadcast': 'ff:ff:ff:ff:ff:ff'}]
