get current system serial number in python

Question

I am looking for a way to get system serial number using python.

Below is the command to get serial number using command prompt:

wmic bios get serialnumber

Is there any python library to get the same?

Answer 1

Yes, you can run shell commands via subprocess

import subprocess
subprocess.check_output('wmic bios get serialnumber').decode("utf-8") 

You should get something like

SerialNumber \r\r\n< cencored > \r\r\n\r\r\n'
