PyBluez is not under active development but we are seeking new contributors
to investigate bugs and submit patches.

Issue

s = bluetooth.BluetoothSocket(RFCOMM) s.connect((self.device['host'], self.device['port'])) creates unusable socket object which throws: bluetooth.btcommon.BluetoothError: [Errno 14] Bad address It should create the same (or functionally equivalent) socket object to: s = socket.socket(socket.AF_BLUETOOTH, socket.SOCK_STREAM, socket.BTPROTO_RFCOMM) s.connect((self.device['host'], self.device['port'])) However, using BluetoothSocket(RFCOMM) results in a socket which throws an exception whenever a write is attempted whereas the socket object works. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): python3-bluez-0.23-10.fc38.x86_64 How reproducible: ALways Steps to Reproduce: 1. s = bluetooth.BluetoothSocket(RFCOMM) 2. s.connect(mac_address, port) 3. s.send("foo") Actual results: bluetooth.btcommon.BluetoothError: [Errno 14] Bad address Expected results: Success (no exception) Additional info: This is code that has been working on Fedora for a decade. It works on Fedora 35. I just upgraded to 38. I have not tried Fedora 36 & 37.

creates unusable socket object which throws:
bluetooth.btcommon.BluetoothError: [Errno 14] Bad address

It should create the same (or functionally equivalent) socket object to:

s = socket.socket(socket.AF_BLUETOOTH, socket.SOCK_STREAM, socket.BTPROTO_RFCOMM)
s.connect((self.device['host'], self.device['port']))

However, using BluetoothSocket(RFCOMM) results in a socket which throws an exception whenever a write is attempted whereas the socket object works.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):

1. s = bluetooth.BluetoothSocket(RFCOMM)
2. s.connect(mac_address, port)
3. s.send("foo")

Actual results:
bluetooth.btcommon.BluetoothError: [Errno 14] Bad address

Expected results:
Success (no exception)
