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.
pip install airport-py
import airport
# current connection
print airport.info()
