There is no ifconfig in Cygwin,
so I wrote a little Python script to parse the result of ipconfig to get the name of NIC cards and their IP addresses.
The encoding of ipconfig is CP950, I decoded it and encode it again with UTF-8.
The function in the script returns a dictionary, with key as name and value as IP address.
Add ifconfig support to this program.
When tried upgrade to Python3 (still Python2 compatiable),
I found subprocess module in Python3 has some problem in UTF-8 environment,
so this program is not support in Cygwin+Python3.
After 5 months in school without going home, I finally request for a 7-day-long vacation to my boss. Now I'm on the train to Hualien, yeeeeaaaaahhhh!
Few weeks ago I found that, just like many other commands, ifconfig has FreeBSD and GNU versions, my program does not support GNU version yet.
So I rewrite the program to extract more information of network interfaces, also add support to GNU ifconfig.
Instead of using regex, I use a for loop to parse the ifconfig and ipconfig output line by line.
I found a codecs module in Python3, it solved my encoding problem in Python3.
Still working.
