PyBluez is a Python extension module that lets Python code access the host machine's Bluetooth resources, including device discovery, SDP browsing, and RFCOMM/L2CAP connections. It supports Linux, Raspberry Pi, macOS, and Windows, but the project is no longer under development.
Use cases
- scan for nearby bluetooth devices from python
- connect to a bluetooth device over rfcomm in python
- discover bluetooth low energy devices with python
- browse sdp services on a bluetooth device
- write a bluetooth l2cap client and server in python
When to choose
- you need classic Bluetooth (RFCOMM/L2CAP/SDP) access from Python on Linux, macOS, or Windows
- you are maintaining legacy code already built on PyBluez
When to avoid
- you need actively maintained software - the project is explicitly not under development
- you need Bluetooth Low Energy - prefer Bleak or Bless
- you need modern Python or current OS support guarantees
