How to Connect to WiFi Using Python?

To connect to WiFi using Python, you can make use of the wpa_supplicant library, which provides an interface to configure and manage WiFi connections. Here’s an example of how you can connect to WiFi using Python:

import subprocess

def connect_to_wifi(ssid, password):
    # Create the wpa_supplicant configuration file
    with open('/etc/wpa_supplicant/wpa_supplicant.conf', 'w') as f:
        f.write('ctrl_interface=/var/run/wpa_supplicant\n')
        f.write('update_config=1\n')
        f.write('country=US\n')
        f.write('\n')
        f.write('network={\n')
        f.write(f'    ssid="{ssid}"\n')
        f.write(f'    psk="{password}"\n')
        f.write('}\n')

    # Restart the wpa_supplicant service
    subprocess.run(['systemctl', 'restart', 'wpa_supplicant'])

# Usage: replace 'your_wifi_ssid' and 'your_wifi_password' with your actual WiFi credentials
connect_to_wifi('your_wifi_ssid', 'your_wifi_password')

In this example, we create a function called connect_to_wifi that takes the WiFi SSID and password as arguments. Inside the function, we open the wpa_supplicant.conf file and write the necessary configuration for the network we want to connect to. Then, we restart the wpa_supplicant service to apply the changes.

Please note that this example assumes you are using a Linux-based system, and the location of the wpa_supplicant.conf file may vary depending on your system configuration. Additionally, you may need administrative privileges to perform these operations.
