These two calls are currently Unix-only in the socket module. However, Windows supports them starting with Vista: https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/desktop/api/netioapi/nf-netioapi-if_indextoname https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/desktop/api/netioapi/nf-netioapi-if_nametoindex I checked with ctypes and they do seem to work. Unfortunately, if_nameindex is not implemented.
