I'm trying to use bluetooth with python, and the best module I've seen was
pybluez
. Right then, I tryied installing it by runningpip install pybluez
. The package was located and downloaded, but it raised an error when runningpython setup.py egg_info
.I then saw this, where it's said that the only version of windows that
PyBluez
can be run on is Windows XP.So then I ask:
- Is there a solution to the traceback ?
- Is there a way to run in on windows 8.1 ?
- Do you recommend another module for bluetooth managing? (Either builtin or third party)
For Reference
Command And Output:

NOTE: If it's easier to do this with python 3, I'm disposed to do so!
