stuck with PyOBEX

[alejandro]

So I installed the module and tryed to make it work but...
It gave me:

Traceback (most recent call last):
File "first.py", line 24, in <module>
client2.connect()
File "C:\Python25\lib\PyOBEX\client.py", line 359, in connect
return Client.connect(self, header_list = [headers.Target(uuid)])
File "C:\Python25\lib\PyOBEX\client.py", line 119, in connect
self.socket = socket.socket(socket.AF_BLUETOOTH, socket.SOCK_STREAM,
AttributeError: 'module' object has no attribute 'AF_BLUETOOTH'>>> Exit
Code: 1


This module asks the socket module for AF_BLUETOOTH... in the socket module
there is no such thing as AF_BLUETOOTH. Could it be that the person that
made PyOBEX modified his socket module and forgot to give his socket module?
Or am I missing something? Maybe AF_BLUETOOTH stands for something that a
programmer would know but I am a beginner so...

Is there a OBEX module for Python on windows?

AF_BLUETOOTH seems to be specific to *nix-systems. At least under debian and
ubuntu, I've got it defined.

So it seems it is not supported under windows - you should consider the
author if that's a mistake, or by design.

Can you tell me what is it? Maybe I can search it and pass it in another
way... if it is an address or protocol name....

I'm not entirely sure, but I guess no, you can't simply pass it in.

Unix uses streams as abstraction for a lot of things - all kinds of devices
for example.

Windows doesn't. It most probably has a dedicated API for dealing with
bluetooth - I found this document which backs this assumption:

http://tombell.org.uk/papers/bluetooth-detection.pdf

I can't comment on the feasibility of hooking the windows api into the inner
workings of PyOBEX - depending on it's design, it would be a major
overhaul.

That won't help. The socket module is not compiled with bluetooth
support on Windows.
Microsoft supplies bluetooth support in the PSDK but it's not
compatible with the Linux support and that's all the socket module
supports.
To get bluetooth support in the socket module somebody will have to
use a Bluetooth Development Kit that is linux-compatible (I don't know
if that exists).
Alternatively, you might look at PuBluez
(http://code.google.com/p/pybluez/) which appears to wrap the
Microsoft bluetooth stuff. I don't know if that will help you do what
you want.

 

[alejandro]

The problem with Pybluez is that the module serves only to get the
addresses, ports, protocols... that the device uses but can't send or recive
files. So I am stuck again :-(
Maybe I should use dll-s.... and again another thing to learn...

Yes, it appears to be compiled into the socket module if the relevant
Bluetooth library (libbluetooth) and header file (bluetooth.h) were
available when Python was built.

So it seems it is not supported under windows - you should consider the
author if that's a mistake, or by design.

By design, though a previous, unreleased version used the bluetooth module
provided by PyBluez (http://code.google.com/p/pybluez/) which contains its
own BluetoothSocket class before I released that the socket module could
also support Bluetooth sockets.

I guess I could change the package to use BluetoothSocket if Bluetooth
support isn't provided by the user's socket module.

So I should connect trough pybluez and send with obex??

You mean "uses the BSD Socket API as an abstraction" here. That's the
framework where "AF_BLUETOOTH" apparently lives.

You could try lightblue http://lightblue.sourceforge.net/

and next time don't use windows

Yes, or you could try lightblue:

I've updated PyOBEX to try and be a bit more flexible when it comes to
Bluetooth socket implementations, so you might want to give that a try:

http://pypi.python.org/pypi/PyOBEX

If you use PyOBEX, you find devices with the bluetooth module (from PyBluez)
then connect and send using PyOBEX:

# Find device addresses.
devices = bluetooth.discover_devices()

# List services provided by a device with the given address.
bluetooth.find_service(address=device_address)

# Find the port used for the file transfer service.
port = bluetooth.find_service(uuid="E006",
address=device_address)[0]["port"]

# List the files in the device's root directory.
from PyOBEX.client import BrowserClient
client = BrowserClient(device_address, port)
client.connect()
client.listdir()
client.disconnect()

Good luck!

I am having problems with connect() it says that it doesn't have sendall
atribute.

Error:

Traceback (most recent call last):

Did you manage to run it under windows?

I haven't tried to run it under Windows. I just assumed that BluetoothSocket
would have the same API on both Linux and Windows.

Looking around, it seems that this is something we can work around:

http://svn.navi.cx/misc/trunk/laserprop/client/BluetoothConduit.py

I'll send you an updated version to try if you would like to test it.

[alejandro]

Yes!

 

[David Boddie]

Yes!

My mails to you keep getting returned, so I've put it here:

http://www.boddie.org.uk/david/Projects/Python/PyOBEX/Software/PyOBEX-0.21.zip

Please let me know if it works on Windows, and feel free to get in touch if
you have any problems.

Ejla! I have sent you a mail (in case you check it often like me )
