    I'm trying to use bluetooth with python, and the best module I've seen was pybluez. Right then, I tryied installing it by running pip install pybluez. The package was located and downloaded, but it raised an error when running python 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:

    C:\Users\Admin\> pip install pybluez
    Collecting pybluez
      Downloading PyBluez-0.21.zip (104kB)
        100% |#####################| 106kB 8.6kB/s
        Complete output from command python setup.py egg_info:
        Could not find the Windows Platform SDK

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