import os
for line in os.popen("ipconfig /all"):
        if line.lstrip().startswith('Physical Address'):

            mac = line.split(':')[1].strip()

            print(mac)



user_mac = '00-FF-2E-3B-D1-0B'

Just check for a match while you're reading the lines:

import os
user_mac = '00-FF-2E-3B-D1-0B'
found = False
for line in os.popen("ipconfig /all"):
    if line.lstrip().startswith('Physical Address'):
        mac = line.split(':')[1].strip()
        if mac == user_mac:
            found = True
            break
if found:
    print("Found")
else:
    print("not found")

If you want to search for a mac or a string try to add an empty list, append all those strings to this list and search for it using a for loop.

import os

list = []

for line in os.popen("ipconfig /all"):
    if line.lstrip().startswith('Physical Address'):
        mac = line.split(':')[1].strip()
        list.append(mac)

mac = "00-FF-2E-3B-D1-0B"
for s in list:
    if s == mac:
        print("work")
        break
    print("not work:)")
