A cross-platform module for manipulating WiFi devices.
Project description
pywifi
pywifi provides a cross-platform Python module for manipulating wireless interfaces.
- Easy to use
- Supports Windows and Linux
Prerequisites
On Linux, you will need to run wpa_supplicant to manipulate the wifi devices, and then pywifi can communicate with wpa_supplicant through socket.
On Windows, the Native Wifi component comes with Windows versions greater than Windows XP SP2.
Installation
After installing the prerequisites listed above for your platform, you can use pip to install from source:
cd pywifi/
pip install .
Documentation
For the details of pywifi, please refer to Documentation.
Example
import pywifi
wifi = pywifi.PyWiFi()
iface = wifi.interfaces()[0]
iface.disconnect()
time.sleep(1)
assert iface.status() in\
[const.IFACE_DISCONNECTED, const.IFACE_INACTIVE]
profile = pywifi.Profile()
profile.ssid = 'testap'
profile.auth = const.AUTH_ALG_OPEN
profile.akm.append(const.AKM_TYPE_WPA2PSK)
profile.cipher = const.CIPHER_TYPE_CCMP
profile.key = '12345678'
iface.remove_all_network_profiles()
tmp_profile = iface.add_network_profile(profile)
iface.connect(tmp_profile)
time.sleep(30)
assert iface.status() == const.IFACE_CONNECTED
iface.disconnect()
time.sleep(1)
assert iface.status() in\
[const.IFACE_DISCONNECTED, const.IFACE_INACTIVE]
