I discover this excellent "Introduction to Bluetooth programming in GNU/Linux" ( with C and Python ) by Albert Huang - An Introduction to Bluetooth programming in GNU/Linux

I'm more familiar with Python and this first part will tell how to install needed libraries ( PyBluez library ) and get started with simple find-my-phone script.

Two ways to install PyBluez

• Download, untar and in folder where you unpacked it write python setup.py install See PyBluez Docs
• I was lazy when I installed the library and I just typed in terminal sudo apt-get install bluez*

Test if installation is corrected, start your Python (in Linux type python and if you are using Windows, goto your Python command-line)

>>> import python

If there is no errors, you can start to write findmyphone.py script, it's very simple and gives you basic understanding about Python & Bluetooth.

Part two will be simple GUI and I will define how to use wxPython and Py2EXe .
