AttributeError: module 'socket' has no attribute 'AF_BLUETOOTH'

When i tried to execute script, i got this message.

    s = socket.socket(socket.AF_BLUETOOTH,
AttributeError: module 'socket' has no attribute 'AF_BLUETOOTH'

you know any solution for this?

i believe is some about my system config, but i can't find anything about this, i can isolate the problem using:

$ python -c "import socket; socket.AF_BLUETOOTH"
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "<string>", line 1, in <module>
AttributeError: module 'socket' has no attribute 'AF_BLUETOOTH'

Thhank's for project, is really useful

What is your operating system? What python version are you using?

OS void linux:

$ uname -srvmo
Linux 5.4.27_1 #1 SMP PREEMPT Sat Mar 21 09:34:54 UTC 2020 x86_64 GNU/Linux

Python 3.8.2:

$ python --version
Python 3.8.2

Seems like your python binary was built without Bluetooth socket support. You need to install python from another repository or the official website.

You're right, i just download and compile the site version, and works like a spell.

Thank you very much.

For Python3. bluetooth support is not installed unless libbluetooth-dev package is installed as well

The new version doesn't require AF_BLUETOOTH and uses PyBluez library instead. No one will encounter this issue again.
