Python - Getting all the Wifi Devices the system has connected

In this article we will see how we can all those wifi network on which the system is ever connected to. Wi-Fi is a wireless networking technology that allows devices such as computers (laptops and desktops), mobile devices (smart phones and wearables), and other equipment (printers and video cameras) to interface with the Internet.
In order to do this we will use the subprocess module. The subprocess module present in Python(both 2.x and 3.x) is used to run new applications or programs through Python code by creating new processes. It also helps to obtain the input/output/error pipes as well as the exit codes of various commands.
In order to get the information about the wifi devices system is connected to we will use the command given below 
 

subprocess.check_output(['netsh', 'wlan', 'show', 'profiles'])

This command will return the meta data in bytes format in order to get the names of network we have to decode and filter it to get the desired output.
Below is the implementation 
 

# importing subprocess
import subprocess

# getting meta data of the wifi network
meta_data = subprocess.check_output(['netsh', 'wlan', 'show', 'profiles'])

# decoding meta data from byte to string
data = meta_data.decode('utf-8', errors ="backslashreplace")

# splitting data by line by line
# string to list
data = data.split('\n')

# creating a list of wifi names
names = []

# traverse the list 
for i in data:
    
    # find "All User Profile" in each item
    # as this item will have the wifi name
    if "All User Profile" in i :
        
        # if found split the item
        # in order to get only the name
        i = i.split(":")
        
        # item at index 1 will be the wifi name
        i = i[1]
        
        # formatting the name
        # first and last character is use less
        i = i[1:-1]
        
        # appending the wifi name in the list
        names.append(i)

# printing the wifi names
print("All wifi that system has connected to are ")
print("-----------------------------------------")
for name in names:
    print(name)

Output : 
 

All wifi that system has connected to are
