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.

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

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

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

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

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

Command "python setup.py egg_info" failed with error code 1 in C:\Users\Kavindu\

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.
