Python DNS Server IP Address Query

Question

I am trying to get the DNS Server IP Addresses using python. To do this in Windows command prompt, I would use

ipconfig -all

As shown below:

I want to do the exact same thing using a python script. Is there any way to extract these values? I was successful in extracting the IP address of my device, but DNS Server IP is proving to be more challenging.

DNS Python (dnspython) might be helpful. You can get the DNS server address with:

 import dns.resolver
 dns_resolver = dns.resolver.Resolver()
 dns_resolver.nameservers[0]
