The compatitibilty of specific operations iwlist.py has with iwlist(8) are listed below.

COMPATIBILITY

scanning

Essentially the same as iwlist(8), but with a possible different line order in the results and probably less information per AP.

frequency

Not working, but it should be.

rate

Probably as unreliable as iwlist(8).

keys

Very close to the same output.

power

Close, but not well tested.

txpower

Not working.

retry

Very close to the same output.

event

Not working.

auth

Not working.

wpakeys
