Bluetooth server with Python 3.3 -

python 3.3 came native support bluetooth sockets. unfortunately, it's not documented yet (there 1 mention of in documentation).

googling there a blog post implementing client, couldn't find creating server.

more specifically, how set user-friendly name , advertise service.

so, like

import socket  serversocket = socket.socket(socket.af_bluetooth,                              socket.sock_stream,                              socket.btproto_rfcomm) serversocket.settimeout(1) serversocket.bind(("", 1)) serversocket.listen(1)  something.advertise_service(something something) 

any ideas?

bad news: python doesn't appear support want out of box. (at least not in socketmodule.c).

most of python/bluetooth users i've seen use pybluez although hasn't been updated since 2009.

good news: went through source (for linux connections), , found relevant bits advertising services. of code copy-pasted python 2.2 version of socketmodule.c.

pybluez define additional functionality socket object implement bluetooth goodies. doesn't low-level, , instead depends on bluez that. can tell, takes python objects , creates data structures expected bluez , calls that. if don't want to/can't use pybluez, you'll have somehow implement missing functionality. think may able c-types. relevant parts advertising service in btmodule.c, lines 2562-2642.

there python-3 branch in source pybluez, although don't know if works or not.

if decide use pybluez, example taken their source

server_sock=bluetoothsocket( rfcomm ) server_sock.bind(("",port_any)) server_sock.listen(1)  port = server_sock.getsockname()[1]  uuid = "94f39d29-7d6d-437d-973b-fba39e49d4ee"  advertise_service(server_sock, "sampleserver",                   service_id = uuid,                   service_classes = [ uuid, serial_port_class ],                   profiles = [ serial_port_profile ],                    ) 

as google code closing, code can found on github here.
