I am mostly done with writing an extension module in C that wraps (and
makes easier) interfacing with libiw (the library that powers iwconfig,
iwlist, and friends on Linux). We're using this internally for a tool to
manage wireless connectivity. This is a million times better than
hundreds of invocations of the iw* suite of tools. :)
Would anyone else find something like this useful? I know a few distros
maintain their own suite of config tools, but I don't think there is yet
an actual binding for python.
Anyway, I am just curious... we plan on using it, at any rate. It's
already made the code easier to read, faster, and more reliable.
# example usage ---------------------------------
wlan = pyiw.WirelessInfo("wlan0")
nets = wlan.Scan()
for net in nets:
print net.signal_quality
wlan.essid
wlan.key
wlan.protocol
wlan.essid = "LV-426"
wlan.Reconfigure()
