Python Socket (Finding Available Wifi Devices)

How can I find and list all WIFI Networks available using python. If cannot be achieved by using just socket, then kindly guide me about some other library to do so.
Thanks

I think one of the best modules for wifi manipulation in python is the wifi package.
pip install wifi
Simple use case is; (replace "wlan0" with your wireless device id)
from wifi import Cell, Scheme
Cell.all('wlan0')
This will return a list of Cell objects. Each object will have the following attributes:
- ssid
- signal
- quality
- frequency
- bitrates
- encrypted
- channel
- address
- mode
For cells that have encrypted as True, there will also be the following attributes:
- encryption_type
To connenc to an AP;
cell = Cell.all('wlan0')[0]
scheme = Scheme.for_cell('wlan0', 'home', cell, passkey)
scheme.save()
scheme.activate()
scheme = Scheme.find('wlan0', 'home')
scheme.activate()
for more info goto https://wifi.readthedocs.io/en/latest/

The output is : <map object at 0x7fe9dbffdcc0> How can I get it as string, wifi signal/device name?

how can I get SSID/ESSID printed on the screen as output?

cells = Cell.all('wlan0')then you can dofor cell in cells: print(cell.ssid)and any other attributes mentioned in the list above

Its now working! Cool. Thanks dear for the help. :) Is this exact thing possible with the help of socket ?

so we can use another module called wireless from pypi but it doesnt work with python3 due to a function missing but you can use my version from my git hub (link will follow shortly)from wireless import Wireless wireless = Wireless() wireless.interfaces()
