What are the pre-requisites as directed by the error message?
Is it OS related?

You should read the prerequisites section here: https://github.com/undera/pylgbst/blob/master/README.md#general-notes

On Windows, only BlueGiga adapters are supported.

Be aware that the WSL doesn't have access to Bluetooth.

How can I connect with osx to the lego boost?
if i use python3 I receive the following error:

python3 demo.py

ConnectionError: Device not found.

If I use python

python demo.py 
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "demo.py", line 5, in <module>
    from pylgbst import *
ImportError: No module named pylgbst

Does anyone have an idea? The links above doesn't work any more.
