I have tried to install both of pybluez and LightBlue on OSX10.9 but I am getting error. Does anyone has managed to install any of these on Mavericks?
I am getting this error for LightBlue :
=== BUILD TARGET LightAquaBlue OF PROJECT LightAquaBlue WITH CONFIGURATION Release === Check dependencies error: There is no SDK with the name or path '/Users/myname/Downloads/lightblue-0.4/src/mac/LightAquaBlue/macosx10.6' ** INSTALL FAILED ** The following build commands failed: Check dependencies (1 failure) and I am getting this error for pyBluez :

PyBluez is windows only:
"PyBluez works on GNU/Linux and Windows XP (Microsoft and Widcomm Bluetooth stacks)." - pybluez homepage
It looks like you're installing the wrong version of LightBlue
Check dependencies error: There is no SDK with the name or path '/Users/myname/Downloads/lightblue-0.4/src/mac/LightAquaBlue/macosx10.6' it's looking for a file for OSX 10.6.
Download and install the master distribution:
If you get the error:
Check dependencies No architectures to compile for (ARCHS=$(NATIVE_ARCH_ACTUAL), VALID_ARCHS=i386 x86_64). ** INSTALL FAILED ** you'll have to open up setup.py and change:
os.system("xcodebuild install -arch '$(NATIVE_ARCH_ACTUAL)' -target LightAquaBlue -configuration Release DSTROOT=/ INSTALL_PATH=/Library/Frameworks DEPLOYMENT_LOCATION=YES") to:
os.system("xcodebuild install -arch 'i386' -target LightAquaBlue -configuration Release DSTROOT=/ INSTALL_PATH=/Library/Frameworks DEPLOYMENT_LOCATION=YES") via this discussion
Edit
I actually got a ImportError: Bundle could not be loaded on Mavericks when I tried to import.
This seems to be the fix for 64 bit computers:
os.system("xcodebuild install -arch 'x86_64' -target LightAquaBlue -configuration Release DSTROOT=/ INSTALL_PATH=/Library/Frameworks DEPLOYMENT_LOCATION=YES") Might be necessary if you come across the same thing.
0there is an other version which is especially for mac osx 10.8 . I can also run this version under osx 10.10 Yosemite.
I just had to follow the change the following line in the setup.py file:
os.system("xcodebuild install -arch 'x86_64' -target LightAquaBlue -configuration Release DSTROOT=/ INSTALL_PATH=/Library/Frameworks DEPLOYMENT_LOCATION=YES") and then i did insert the following two methods in /Library/Python/2.7/site-packages/lightblue/_lightblue.py :
def deviceInquiryDeviceNameUpdated_device_devicesRemaining_(self, sender, device, devicesRemaining): pass
def deviceInquiryUpdatingDeviceNamesStarted_devicesRemaining_(self, sender, devicesRemaining): pass
after the constructer of:
_AsyncDeviceInquiry(Foundation.NSObject): the complete code is then:
class _AsyncDeviceInquiry(Foundation.NSObject): # NSObject init, not python __init__ def init(self): try: attr = _IOBluetooth.IOBluetoothDeviceInquiry except AttributeError: raise ImportError("Cannot find IOBluetoothDeviceInquiry class " +\ "to perform device discovery. This class was introduced in " +\ "Mac OS X 10.4, are you running an earlier version?") self = super(_AsyncDeviceInquiry, self).init() self._inquiry = \ _IOBluetooth.IOBluetoothDeviceInquiry.inquiryWithDelegate_(self) # callbacks self.cb_started = None self.cb_completed = None self.cb_founddevice = None return self def deviceInquiryDeviceNameUpdated_device_devicesRemaining_(self, sender, device, devicesRemaining): pass def deviceInquiryUpdatingDeviceNamesStarted_devicesRemaining_(self, sender, devicesRemaining): pass the last step is to alter this line in the same file:
deviceInquiryComplete_error_aborted_, signature="v@:@iB") to
deviceInquiryComplete_error_aborted_, signature="v@:@iZ") for me that works fine!
Hope that this is a helpful post.
