releasing a 3.x installer is not as simple as just rebuilding it against python
3.x.
python 3.x is not backwards compatible with python 2.x, and so porting pybluez to
3.x requires significant source-level changes.
you are more than welcome to contribute to this effort by submitting patches.

yeah, I know that...and if you tell me how to fix this SDK error, I will gladly
help.

I'd start by familiarizing yourself with this page:
http://docs.python.org/3.0/whatsnew/3.0.html
At the very bottom, there are some rough guidelines on how to go about porting
from
2.x to 3.x (Section "Porting to Python 3.0"). That's a pretty decent guideline
to
follow, and once you get code working, start sending patches my way.

Yeah, I've read that several times (why did they have to change it all?), but
if I
can't build it, I can't test it.
Probably some dependency...where would I get it?

meaning that "Can't find the Windows XP Platform SDK" is probably because of
some
dependency

If you do a web search for Windows XP Platform SDK, you should be able to find
and
download it. Once you have that installed, you'll also need a recent copy of
Visual
Studio.

I have VC++ Express, and was able to compile python (2.6) with it. Good enough?

Ok, got it to build. I suggest you make a svn branch for the 3.1-compatible
code, so
you can mess with it without breaking the 2.6 code. I'll be working on porting
the
python to 3.1 as best I can.

With this quick-and-dirty hack it compiles under Python 2.6 and Python 3.1
I only tested device scanning with msbt and widcomm and RFCOMM socket send/recv
under
msbt.
bluez isn't supported yet

I've just been sent a port of the bluez portions of PyBluez to Python 3.1 and
used it
to start a new branch.
Lukas, do you think you could integrate this patch into that branch?

I know this is a really old thread but is PyBluez for Python3 working now?

As of 3.0 : "Python 3.0 is end-of-lifed with the release of Python
3.1"(http://python.org/download/releases/3.0.1/)
Installer for 3.1 is now included
