iwevent monitor

Requirement: iwevent from the wireless_tools linux package

Enables event driven code based on occurrences from wireless network interfaces

Usage

1. Create a IweventMonitor object - this will spawn a separate monitor thread based on iwevent
2. Link methods to supported events using predefined decorators or manually
   • association_new_event() - triggers whenever a WiFi connection is established
   • association_lost_event() - triggers whenever a WiFi connection is lost
   • register_method_for_event(event, method) - manually register a method

Linked methods will automatically be executed whenever their corresponding wireless interface event is detected. Currently supported events: connection established, connection lost

IweventMonitor contains two parameters which decide how linked methods are executed:

• use_threading (default True) - Uses threads to call each method; specifying this as False will execute all linked methods consecutively in order of linking
• daemonized_threads (default False) - Spawns threads as daemons
