Install pybluez version 0.30 pip install git+https://github.com/pybluez/pybluez.git#egg=pybluez and change requirements.txt to pyBluez==0.30

Sorry for the super-late response. Unfortunately the pybluez team has released an updated version in a long time. I just upgraded the requirements.txt to use their master branch in the latest commit (188df13790c4b4a96205c28c83cc1b01e0020ef8)

This solves this problem.

Fixed with latest commit
