Python3 error "no module named bluetooth" on Linux Mint


sudo apt-get install bluetooth libbluetooth-devsudo python3 -m pip install pybluez

This worked for me on raspberry pi 3.


You've installed the Python 2 version of the bluez bindings. Either run the script using python2 or install the Python 3 bindings. Since they aren't packaged, you would need to install them using pip:

python3 -m pip install pybluez


with Ubuntu 16.04, I had the same issue. I installed pybluez and that fixed the import issue. I installed it using:

sudo pip3 install pybluez
