Documentation

airport-py

Tiny MacOS only python library to integrate/use wi-fi scan results in your python projects. Wi-Fi scan data gathered by calling & parsing the results of a small MacOS cli utility called "airport".

/System/Library/PrivateFrameworks/Apple80211.framework/Versions/Current/Resources/airport is the default path to program executable. Exporting environment variable AIRPORT_PATH will update the defaults if you have your executable in a different path.
