PyIW is a simple Python extension module written in C that interfaces with libiw and provides a very "pythonic" API to programmers. It was developed primarily for use with Emptool, and has only been tested using Centrino and Atheros cards. However, it does support these cards very well (and even increases the 5 second timeout enforced in libiw during scans) and will likely work seemlessly with any card that supports WE17 or higher.
