Package: wpa-pyfi
wpa_pyfiwpa_pyfi provides a command line wrapper for iwlist and /etc/wpa_supplicant/wpa_supplicant.conf
that makes it easier to connect the WiFi networks from the command line, specifically on a
a Raspberry Pi Device. The wpa_pyfi command is also implemented as a library that can be used from Python.$ pip install wpa_pyfi
$ wpa_pyfi --helpNoteThe documentation for wpa_pyfi lives athttps://wpa_pyfi.readthedocs.org/en/latest/.Wpa_pyfi is based off of the archived wifi library originally created by Rocky Meza:https://github.com/rockymeza/wifi.gitChangelog0.5.2release-date:2021-02-10There was an issue in 0.5.1 that prevented pip install. PyPi will not let me overwrite/remove it so it is being fixed in this release0.5.1release-date:2021-02-03Add automatic priority management so activated networks will connect (fix ambiguity bug)Remove explicit priority specification on network creationFix parsing bug that would cause connection data retrieval to fail for networkMake NETNAME parameter optional in CLI arguments0.5.0release-date:2021-01-04Packaged renamed from wifi to wpa_pyfiProject was rebuilt to run on wpa_cli instead of ifup and ifdown (a noteable issue for RPi Users)Scheme class was replaced with Network classConfigurations are saved by default in /etc/wpa_supplicant/wpa_supplicant.conf instead of /etc/networks/interfaces (previous)Ad hoc network connection via CLI is no longer supportedConnection class is no longer utilized. IfConfigParser object is used instead to view connection informationNetwork tests are currently brokenDiscontinued support for Python30.4.0release-date:unknownMake the wifi command name configurable (#55 - thanks yourealwaysbe)Add a __main__.py so that wifi can be invoked using python -mwifiFix argument parsing so that scan is the default argument even with options passed0.3.8release-date:2016-03-11Parse noise level if available (#91 - thanks zgoda-mobica)0.3.7release-date:2016-03-11Fix bugs related to scheme parsing (#59, #42)0.3.6release-date:2016-02-11Set all attributes to None in Cell.__init__ (#88 - thanks stvad)0.3.5release-date:2016-01-24Better password handling (#62 - thanks foosel)Account for Cells with no SSID (#86 - thanks tlau)0.3.4release-date:2014-09-02Fixed installation missing some files (#48 - thanks luckydonald)0.3.3release-date:2014-08-31Check for write access for bashcompletion via os.access (#41, #47 - thanks foosel and jegger)Fixed scanning when quality is reported absolutely (#45 - jeromelebel)Fixed channel parsing (#33, #39 - thanks gavinwahl and qizha)0.3.2release-date:2014-07-26Only run if __name__ == ‘__main__’ (#29 - thanks Jonwei)Try to connect to the nearest Access Pointwifi scan was failing when Bit Rate was the last line of output (#42 - thanks jargij)Added documentation for signal and quality on Cell0.3.1release-date:2014-02-10Scheme.activate was failing on a TypeError in Python30.3.0release-date:2014-02-09Scheme.activate now throws a ConnectionError if activation failed (#17 - thanks alexykot)Cell.all now throws an InterfaceError if scanning failed (#18 - thanks alexykot)Better error message when scheme isn’t found (#19 - thanks gavinwahl)Added ability to delete schemes (#20 - thanks spektom)Added the –file option (#21)Scheme.activate returns a Connection object (#22)Added the autoconnect command (#23)Fixed parsing error missing channel (#24 - thanks LiorKirsch)Fixed relative signal return as zero (#25 - thanks LiorKirsch)Relative signals are now converted to dBm (#26 - thanks LiorKirsch)Various codebase cleanup (#27 - thanks ramnes)Added support for WPA Version 1 (#28 - thanks LiorKirsch)Fixed Python3 support for WPA/PBKDF20.2.2release-date:2013-12-25Fixed relative signal parsing bug (#12 - thanks alexykot)0.2.1release-date:2013-11-22Fixed print_table str/int bug (#13 - thanks DanLipsitt)0.2.0release-date:2013-09-27Added support for WEPFixed bug related to very short SSIDsFixed bug related to numeric passkeys0.1.1release-date:2013-05-26Updated setup.py to actually install the bash completion script
