This fork has been made in order to have native python3.6 compatibility without installing the package. As source repo does not move much, I will contribute as modifications are needed to this code. I do not own BT-manager PyPI repo, so modifications will be pushed upstream if asked by original maintainers
A library for managing bluetooth devices using Python, Bluez and DBus.
With python 3.6
# needed for python-dbus sudo apt-get install build-essential checkinstall libdbus-1-dev libdbus-glib-1-dev mkvirtualenv BTManager pip install cffi python-dbus
Compile codecs and install as debian package
TODO : modify dir name to bt_manager_codecs for better package naming
cd ./codecs make sudo checkinstall
Installing the RTP/SBC codec (this must be done first):
sudo make -C codecs install
Note: the default platform is x86 (mmx). To build for a different platform e.g., armv6
then run sudo make -C codecs install PLATFORM=armv6 instead.
Install the python library by running:
pip install BT-Manager
