Hey, anyone know of a Python module that can get the ESSID's, channels, ect. of the networks nearby?

You can use a pypi package named wifi.

Code

pip install wifi

You can then use it this way:

Code

from wifi import Cell

cells = Cell.all('wlan0')

Each Cell object has various attributes such as SSID, signal, quality, etc. I will let you explore it by reading the documentation and dir()

When I want network info, I turn to kismet or airodump. For aircrack-ng suite, there is the pyrcrack package. As I said before, had hit and miss results with it. For kismet, there repos such as https://github.com/PaulMcMillan/kismetclient

You could also simply have aircrack installed and do os.system('airodump {0}'.format('wlan0')) or os.system(iwlist wlan0 scan)
