如何在 Python 3 中禁用 WIFI？ （视窗）

Question

I'm making a python script that should turn off the WIFI on windows. I've tried searching on google, but all I could find is to disconnect from a specific WIFI. And that's not what I want, Because if you on another computer and you run the same script, it probably wont turn off your WIFI because you don't have the same WIFI as the person who wrote the script.

So does anybody knows how I can make a python script that will disable\turn off the WIFI on the computer and work with every WIFI without changing the script?

Answer 1

Often, high-level programming language don't have access to system settings. Hence you could import the os module and send out some signal to notify the operating system to switch off the Wifi.

os.system()

you are using Window. you could fill the function with this

netsh interface set interface 'Wifi' disabled

For those using OS X, you could fill the function with this

sudo networksetup -setnetworkserviceenabled Wi-Fi off

Answer 2

There isn't a way to reliably do this for any computer and any wifi. Every computer has a different wifi adapter which may be placed differently in the win32 network api.

What you can do is, execute system commands for command prompt, to query and find the current system's wifi adapter. For example, in order to find the wifi adapter, you could use the following

 wmic nic get name, index 

This will show you a list of adapters. If one of them says something at the end like WiFi Adapter , you can use the index of that entry with the following command:

wmic path win32_networkadapter where index=7 call disable

This turns the wifi off. Keep in mind this may work or not work on different versions of Windows. This also may not work if the Windows user is not using command prompt when running your python script.

To call these commands from Python, use the subprocess module. You can run commands there with the run() or check_output() methods:

>>> subprocess.run(["dir", "C:\users"], capture_output=True)
