Compares wifi data from different places

PyWifiZone

PyWifiZone measures wifi-footprints in different locations and tries to locate a wifi device based on the data. This means you can locate yourself in a flat by just comparing the different wifi signals and strengths.

The Command Line Tool is named pywifi and installed into /usr/bin/

Requirements

PyWifiZone needs the linux command iwlist and for full completion iwconfig as well as sed and a bash compatible shell.

State

The current version is supposed to be stable. Note thought that there are no tests yet.
