# PyWy

Wireless Network information in python

## Overview

This set of classes and functions parses the output of iwlist:

 *   Network() objects hold information about a single node

 *   iwlist()  object holds all of the networks and define helper methods(singleton)

## Root privileges

PyWy can't read directly from iwlist wlan0 scan right now. This is partly due to

my inherent distrust of running scripts as root, and I'm passing that paranoia

to you. If you look at the code, PyWy reads network information from a file

passed in on the command line. 

## Invocation

I use 


$ sudo iwlist wlan0 scan > derp; python pywy.py derp; rm derp



This prevents the python code from being executed as root. 

and to be completely honest with you I do:


$ alias pywy='sudo iwlist wlan0 scan > derp;python pywy.py derp; rm derp

$ pywy
