python 3 BLUETOOTH for WINDOWS

[kavindu]

Is there any bluetooth library for python 3 on windows platform.
I tried to install pybluez, but it shows an error. Itried to do it even by running cmd as the admin
this is the error message

Error:
Could not find the Windows Platform SDK

I have been exhausted with this problem. plz help me

please advise how you tried to install
do you have python installed?
the package should be installed using:

pip install pybluez

but only if python already installed.

[kavindu]

yes. I have installed python and I tride to unstall package by pip

[Larz60+]

Sounds like missing path information.
When installing, this unfortunately is an option and has to be checked.
from command line, try:

python -V
pip -V

this will determine if environment is properly set up.
If not, you will have to manually set path or re-install (which is better)
If you choose to re-install, please follow the tutorial here:

and here: https://python-forum.io/Thread-Part-2-Py...nt-Windows

[kavindu]

yes I have added python to the path at the installation and the pip also. Ineed to know is there any uncompatiblity in "pybluez" with windows

[Larz60+]

can't say. The author of that package shows a homepage of: http://karulis.github.io/pybluez/
however that url returns 404 error
And pypi page: https://pypi.org/project/PyBluez/ states nothing about windows.
This is a question that should be directed to author, but since his github url fails, can't advise on how that should be done.
perhaps try another package?: https://pypi.org/search/?q=bluetooth

Look at this link.
You see that there is link to wheel for Windows platform.
Install with pip:

pip install PyBluez-0.22-cp37-cp37m-win_amd64.whl

[kavindu]

I did it just as said by snippsat by giving following command.
pip install pybluez-0.22-cp37-cp37m-win_amd64.whl
but it shows the following error

Error:
C:\Windows\system32>pip install pybluez-0.22-cp37-cp37m-win_amd64.whl
Requirement 'pybluez-0.22-cp37-cp37m-win_amd64.whl' looks like a filename, but t
he file does not exist
pybluez-0.22-cp37-cp37m-win_amd64.whl is not a supported wheel on this platform.

And when i try to do it by giving the following command it tries to instal
it by using cached
pip install pybluez
it shows a permission error even when i have launched cmd prompt as admin

Error:
C:\Windows\system32>pip install pybluez

and some times this error message instaed of above

but I can install other packages like numpy,django,..etc.
this problem occurs only with pybluez

You most choose wheel for your Python version.
That wheel is for Python 3.7 - 64-bit.
PyBluez-0.22-cp37-cp37m-win_amd64.whl

You find your version bye type python in cmd.
Need to install look at Python 3.6/3.7 and pip installation under Windows.
Anaconda look here.
