Regularly browse other computers on the network in Python

Question

Is it possible to view other devices located on the same network in Python (or any programming language)?

Edit: to clarify, what I would like to do (just for starters) is to display a list of connected devices and their local IP addresses. So, on my router it will show information:

family_pc, 192.168.1.2 work_laptop, 192.168.1.3

I want to get this information.
