You need to dissociate from any AP before initiating the scanning:
Turn off WIFI
sudo networksetup -setairportpower en0 off
Install
pip install howmanypeoplearearound
Download oui.txt
This is because howmanypeoplearearound uses an old download address, and the default Python urlopen lacks a User-Agent, causing it to be rejected by IEEE's server as a bot.
wget -O oui.txt https://standards-oui.ieee.org/oui/oui.txt
Run
howmanypeoplearearound
Turn on WIFI
sudo networksetup -setairportpower en0 on
