This is getting pretty convoluted.
Can I include file here instead of text ? ( see what follows )
What is the difference between using "pip " to install and plain "apt install"?
It looks as the original issue was and still is mixing interpreter versions.
BTW - I did borrow a Python book from my grand kid teenager and I can read. When I asked him about his opinion of the book - he replied - "It is OK, but it should not take five chapters to explain "print " .
I "learn" from others code , reinventing wheel is not my forte. So I will not read the book from cover to cover, just pick what I need as I go .
I have a working C code doing what I want to do in python - inquire about nearby bluetooth devices. I have downloaded / installed and implemented C version of BlueZ.
Not so sure why I am having issues doing same in pyhton.
Here is what I get "installing " bluez:
( Sorry - it is a messy read, please concentrate on "bluez" )
