Bleak

Bluetooth Low Energy platform Agnostic Klient for Python

Usage

To discover Bluetooth devices that can be connected to: 

import asyncio
from bleak import BleakScanner

async def main():
    devices = await BleakScanner.discover()
    for d in devices:
        print(d)

asyncio.run(main())

Connect to a Bluetooth device and read its model number: 

import asyncio
from bleak import BleakClient

address = "24:71:89:cc:09:05"
MODEL_NBR_UUID = "00002a24-0000-1000-8000-00805f9b34fb"

async def main(address):
    async with BleakClient(address) as client:
        model_number = await client.read_gatt_char(MODEL_NBR_UUID)
        print("Model Number: {0}".format("".join(map(chr, model_number))))

asyncio.run(main(address))

Client Services 

import asyncio
from bleak import BleakScanner, BleakClient
from PyObjCTools import KeyValueCoding

async def main():
    devices = await BleakScanner.discover()
    for d in devices:
        if KeyValueCoding.getKey(d.details,'name') == 'awesomecoolphone':
            myDevice = d
            print('Found it')

    address = str(KeyValueCoding.getKey(myDevice.details,'identifier'))
    async with BleakClient(address) as client:
        svcs = await client.get_services()
        print("Services:")
        for service in svcs:
            print(service)

asyncio.run(main())
