It abstracts over platform-specific hardware detection by wrapping multiple backend libraries (dbus-fast for D-Bus systems, uart-devices and usb-devices for direct hardware access) into a unified async interface.\n\nThe package is in pre-alpha development but actively maintained, with support for Python 3.10 through 3.14. It's designed for applications that need to detect what Bluetooth hardware is present before attempting connections, making it useful in IoT, device management, and Bluetooth-centric applications. The async design integrates with modern Python concurrency patterns.","worth_installing":"Yes, if you need to discover Bluetooth adapters programmatically. The package is actively maintained, has no known vulnerabilities, and low install friction. The pre-alpha status and small community (14 stars) mean the API may change, but for straightforward adapter enumeration it's a reasonable choice. Verify platform support matches your target systems before committing."},"id":"bluetooth-adapters","links":{"html":"https://skillfed.io/packages/bluetooth-adapters","md":"https://skillfed.io/packages/bluetooth-adapters.md","pypi":"https://pypi.org/project/bluetooth-adapters/"},"maintenance":{"status":"active"},"meta":{"latest_release":"2026-05-26","license_spdx":"Apache-2.0","license_treatment":"permissive","name":"bluetooth-adapters","python_support":"supports_current","summary":"Tools to enumerate and find Bluetooth Adapters"},"popularity":{"monthly_downloads":746532,"position":5169,"tier":"top_15000"},"security":{"n_vulnerabilities":0},"version":"2.4.0"}
