Simplest way to connect WiFi python

Question

I would like to connect to my wifi network using python. I know the SSID and the key for the network, and it's encrypted in WPA2 security. I have seen some libraries like wireless and pywifi but the first didn't work and the second was too complicated. What is the simpelest way to connect to wifi? what is the best library/way?

My failed code using wireless library (I've installed it via pip, of course):

from wireless import Wireless

wire = Wireless()
wire.connect(ssid='myhome',password='password')

interpreter output:

Traceback (most recent call last):
File "C:/Users/Aviv/PycharmProjects/Networks/WiFi/1/1.py", line 4, in

Easy way to connect Wifi without any modules:

import os


class Finder:
    def __init__(self, *args, **kwargs):
        self.server_name = kwargs['server_name']
        self.password = kwargs['password']
        self.interface_name = kwargs['interface']
        self.main_dict = {}

    def run(self):
        command = """sudo iwlist wlp2s0 scan | grep -ioE 'ssid:"(.*{}.*)'"""
        result = os.popen(command.format(self.server_name))
        result = list(result)

        if "Device or resource busy" in result:
                return None
        else:
            ssid_list = [item.lstrip('SSID:').strip('"\n') for item in result]
            print("Successfully get ssids {}".format(str(ssid_list)))

        for name in ssid_list:
            try:
                result = self.connection(name)
            except Exception as exp:
                print("Couldn't connect to name : {}. {}".format(name, exp))
            else:
                if result:
                    print("Successfully connected to {}".format(name))

    def connection(self, name):
        try:
            os.system("nmcli d wifi connect {} password {} iface {}".format(name,
       self.password,
       self.interface_name))
        except:
            raise
        else:
            return True

if __name__ == "__main__":
    # Server_name is a case insensitive string, and/or regex pattern which demonstrates
    # the name of targeted WIFI device or a unique part of it.
    server_name = "example_name"
    password = "your_password"
    interface_name = "your_interface_name" # i. e wlp2s0  
    F = Finder(server_name=server_name,
               password=password,
               interface=interface_name)
    F.run()
