Not compatible with M1 MacBook?

[slerman12]

I installed pybluez and get this error when trying to import on an M1 MacBook:

import bluetooth
  File "/Users/samlerman/Code/miniforge3/lib/python3.9/site-packages/bluetooth/__init__.py", line 47, in <module>
    from .macos import *
  File "/Users/samlerman/Code/miniforge3/lib/python3.9/site-packages/bluetooth/macos.py", line 1, in <module>
    import lightblue
ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'lightblue'

Same issue on M2 MacBook Pro. MacOS Ventura

It's not about M1/2, it's about macOS. At least i just came up with the same ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'lightblue' on Intel MacBook Pro.

The solution was incredibly simple:

pip install python-lightblue

Sadly, that hasn't helped me in general, eg.:
i use bluetooth.lookup_name() that perfectly does it's job on Linux, but just prints out TODO: implement on macOS 😐

I same working on Mac Book M1, and I installed pyobjc, and Bluetooth modules.

any updates ?

When will there be updates...
I still did: pip install python-lightblue

I'm running on an M1 Mac. I really need this working.... this is driving me crazy...

Here's the source code.......

import bluetooth

def discover_devices():
print("Discovering nearby devices:")
nearby_devices = bluetooth.discover_devices(duration=8, lookup_names=True, lookup_class=True, flush_cache=True)

for addr, name, _ in nearby_devices:
    print(f"Found device: {name} - {addr}")

if name == "main":
discover_devices()

When I run it, I get:
(BLE_39_env) johndraper@Johns-MacBook-Pro MacPython % python3 Blu_discovery.py
Discovering nearby devices:
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "/Volumes/T7/Programming/CrunchComm/MacPython/Blu_discovery.py", line 11, in
discover_devices()
File "/Volumes/T7/Programming/CrunchComm/MacPython/Blu_discovery.py", line 5, in discover_devices
nearby_devices = bluetooth.discover_devices(duration=8, lookup_names=True, lookup_class=True, flush_cache=True)
File "/Volumes/T7/Programming/CrunchComm/MacPython/BLE_39_env/lib/python3.9/site-packages/bluetooth/macos.py", line 12, in discover_devices
devices = lightblue.finddevices(getnames=lookup_names, length=duration)
AttributeError: module 'lightblue' has no attribute 'finddevices'

What am I doing wrong? Please help!!! I really need this....

Is there a workaround?

[jdcrunchman]

Yea, if there is a published workaround, where would I find it. It's been about 5 days now, I tried solving it, but its way past my pay scale. Is anyone else still working on this problem?
