Python Bluetooth

[Valentin de Pablo Fouce]

Hi all,

I'm looking for developing a bluetooth application in python, and I'm
looking for the most suitable python library for it. Googling some
time I found pyBluez (http://code.google.com/p/pybluez/), however, the
library seems to be stopped since end 2009 (latest update Nov 2009)
and not to many work since then. Is there any other library?

Has anybody any advice about it?

For me, the key is to develop in bluetooth, so I'm flexible in
programming language, although I'd like to go on python.

Thanks for your help,

Valentin

Hi,

you can have a look at http://lightblue.sourceforge.net/ but it also
seems to be unactive since end of 2009.

If you really need a lib thats still under active development and you
dont want to switch to C maybe
http://sourceforge.net/projects/javabluetooth/ together with Jython is
an option?

Were these libraries abandoned incomplete or just finished? Has the
bluetooth spec changed since then?

They're definetly incomplete, but i would say the most important /
commonly used apis are implemented.

The Bluetooth spec added a low energy protocol stack since than in
version 4.0, but I dont have any experiences in that.

blueman is written in python and works fine with latest bluez lib.
It uses dbus for interaction with bluez, you can try using their
wrapper for your own app.
