An Introduction to Bluetooth programming in Linux with Python part 1

2007-03-16T02:32:00.000-07:00

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 .

New del.icio.us feature: Tag Descriptions

2007-03-15T14:31:00.000-07:00

A social bookmarking website del.icio.us is making the service more user-friendly. Now they have Tag Descriptions. I'm already using it, see example my bookmarks tagged with "Finnish". This is great thing to explain others what you actually mean with your tags.

Now I wait the tag descriptions to be exposed to RSS feeds..
