Windows 7 does not have a MAC address. It is an operating system.
Ethernet adapters have MAC addresses. Your computer will have one or
more Ethernet adapter.
From a command prompt enter
ipconfig /all
You will see something like (this is from MY computer, Windows 2008
Server, similar to Win 7):

etc.
Each Ethernet adapter has a Physical Address (MAC Address).
When you run ipconfig /all - if you see only one Physical Address, then
that is the one you want.
If you see more than one then you must decide which Ethernet adapter you
want.
Then you use Popen (in subprocess module) to run ipconfig /all, capture
the output and parse it for the desired Ethernet adapter, then parse
that section for the Physical Address.
There may be another (better?, easier?) way but this will work.
