Hello, I'm try to do a hello work with you module, but not works, I installed the wifi module like:
pip install wifi
Then when I try to do whatever with your module, for example wifi scan
I get the following problem:
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "/usr/local/bin/wifi", line 202, in <module>
args.func(args)
File "/usr/local/bin/wifi", line 51, in scan_command
print_table([[cell.signal, cell.ssid, 'protected' if cell.encrypted else 'unprotected'] for cell in Cell.all(args.interface)])

raise child_exception

Thank you for your interest in the wifi library. It currently only supports linux.
It makes extensive use of the linux wireless-tools libraries and tools and I don't know if there are similar tools available on mac.
I apologize for the inconvenience. I would of course be very glad to accept pull requests to add support for mac, but I don't know about the feasibility of it.
