I need a way to get info about them both in python...

Answer 1

Run command with administrator:

secedit /export /cfg group-policy.inf /log export.log

In python:

os.system('secedit /export /cfg group-policy.inf /log export.log')

All info will be exported to group-policy.inf file and then parse the file will get the info you want.

See secedit command.
