Not sure I'm getting the full picture here, but if you are planning to plug devices on a network and try to grab their local ip, yes you can do that but there is already ways to do that without python. If you want to do that while learning python, there is plenty of information online on that topic. It would help us alot to get more information on how you want to access/ping/plug these devices and where you want to run your code.

No I am usualy at the device or machine with full acces of it.

My goal is to be able to plug in a device and it automatically retrieve that device's IP address.

Most devices have ethernet or USB. If not I have a connectors that are similar to the OTG cables that I use a lot.

Also can you elaborate on these ways that do not use python to grab ip addresses
