Bluetooth lib for python 3 [closed]

Question

I searched for lib for bluetooth programming in python and I found PyBluez but it is not compatible with Python 3. So is there any other free library for bluetooth programming compatible with Python 3?

The only package working for Python 3.11 was: bleak (github.com/hbldh/bleak) – Porbeagle

Answer 1

PyBluez now supports Python 3.

Like the other answers state, there is inbuilt support for Bluetooth in Python sockets (Python 3.3 and above). However, there is little to no documentation on how to actually use the sockets with Bluetooth. I wrote a brief tutorial so that I could refer back to it once I forget. You might find it useful.

Alas, the "AF_BLUETOOTH" option does not appear to be available on Windows. Most disappointing. My team has used PyBluez extensively and it works well if you have a compatible setup. The lack of maintenance is disappointing, but it's better than rolling our own. – Buttonball

PyBluez is no longer under active development. – Interwork

Answer 2

On python 3.3 there is native support!! You can use bluetooth like a socket object

@JohnCrawford claims that it doesn't work on Windows, therefore this (probably) is not cross-platform. – Fairly

In Python 3.9 there is now support for Bluetooth on Windows with the native socket library. bugs.python.org/issue36590 – Irwin

Answer 3

pybluez is now ported to python 3: http://code.google.com/p/pybluez/downloads/list
