Wifi provides a command line wrapper for iwlist and /etc/network/interfaces that makes it easier to connect the WiFi networks from the command line. The wifi command is also implemented as a library that can be used from Python.
This fork takes care of the "ap-force" option when running iw. Also, the binary is not /sbin/iwlist anymore, but iw directly (/usr/sbin/iw), therefore the command is a bit different.
It's a drop-in replacement of the original package.
pip install wifi-ap-force
