Title: Python-bluez (pybluez)

Does anybody know where I might find an *.ipk of the python-bluez module?

Thanks in advance.

My my! The silence is deafening!  

Managed to sort this one out for myself in case anyone else wants to know.

Firstly install zgcc on your Zee. I got mine from Zaurus Onboard Development Tools (http://s91215199.onlinehome.us/zaurus/)

Next get Debian Package for Version 0.3 (http://org.csail.mit.edu/pybluez/release/python2.3-bluez_0.3-2_i386.deb) from the Project's homepage.

Upload the Debian package  onto your Zee and use dpkg to unpack it.

cd to the directory created by unpacking the debian package and then cd to the src directory inside it.

run

Code: [Select]

python setup.py install
This will add PyBluez to your site-packages.

Now test it works by plugging in your CF Bluetooth card and running this script.

while True:
    rfds = select.select( readfiles, [], [] )[0]

    if d in rfds:
        d.process_event()

    if d.done: break
If all is working OK, you should see the output of a scan for all Bluetooth devices in the area.

any chance in providing the files?

Thanks to you for providing this useful addition to the Python repository for the Zaurus.

It would be great to get just the phython-blueZ file by itself so that it can be added to the Kopsis (or the Mickyl) python package by hand.

I did get it to compile, although I am not sure if it works fully, may be limited in functionality. Basically couldnt get some of the examples to work. Maybe I should try compiling 0.3 instead of 0.5 or was that 0.6?
