How could I store the values of the "py" command in a variable or in a dictionary?

Hi

For example I would like to know how to store all the frequencies of the deployed APs (of a certain topology in mininet-wifi) in a dictionary? Or How to store any py comand (like distance, range, channel, txpower, etc) in a variable or external file.

Regards

Do you want to use the CLI to store data in a dictionary (python dictionary)?? This doesn't make sense to me. What would be the reason? Anyway, the code is open and you are free to change it according to your needs.

By the way, I'd suggest you to take a look at https://mininet-wifi.github.io/advanced/#socket.

Not exactly in the CLI but in the script of creation of the topology or maybe you could suggest me something else. The reason is, let's say I want to deploy a topology with 10 APs with its default frequency channel, I want to make an algorithm to reassign automatically the channels in order to reduce cochannel interference (change them to orthogonal channels) and then test the scenarios. The idea is to get all the APs freq channels and pass it to an algorithm which automatically reassigns the APs channels.

Socket does the work
