title: Python bluetooth on Windows 10
body: <p>I found multiple similar questions but all of them seemed to be either outdated or to not have a working answer, so I'm asking here again.</p>
  
  <p>I want to connect to another device (in my case a RaspberryPi) via bluetooth from my laptop, which is running Windows 10.</p>
  
  <p>I know that there's native support via the socket module, however that threw an error for me. After searching this up I found an answer claiming that the python bluetooth socket is not working with Windows(?).</p>
  
  <p>So I continued searching and found that PyBluez was recommended a lot as a good bluetooth library. Again, this threw an <code>OSError</code> for me and again, I heard that PyBluez does not support Windows 10.</p>
  
  <p>I found a module named <code>pybluez-win10</code> but there was basically no documentation on how to make that work. Installing a precompiled build for Windows from <a href="https://www.lfd.uci.edu/~gohlke/pythonlibs/#pybluez" rel="nofollow noreferrer">here</a> didn't work either, I guess that's because the latest build is for Python 3.5 while I'm using 3.7.</p>
  
  <p>If you have any suggestions what to try or you know other libraries that you recommend, please let me know. Thank you!</p>
