sosia performs a series of queries in the Scopus database using the pybliometrics package. After configuring your local pybliometrics (providing access credentials and eventually setting cache directories), you can use sosia:
>>> import sosia
>>>
>>> sosia.get_field_source_information() # Necessary only once
>>> sosia.make_database() # Necessary only once
>>>
>>> stefano = sosia.Original(55208373700, 2019) # Scopus ID and year
>>> stefano.define_search_sources() # Sources similiar to scientist
>>> stefano.define_search_group() # Authors publishing in similar sources
>>> stefano.find_matches() # Find matches satisfying all criteria
>>> print(stefano.matches)
>>> [55320703900, 55817553500, 56113324000, 56276429200]
>>> stefano.inform_matches() # Optional step to provide additional information
>>> print(stefano.matches[0])
