It provides a unified Python interface for discovering BLE devices, scanning for peripherals, and managing connections through both synchronous and asynchronous patterns. The package wraps lower-level BLE implementations (DBus on Linux, native APIs on Windows and macOS) and exposes them through a clean, consistent API.\n\nThe library is designed for developers who need to build BLE applications without wrestling with platform differences. It supports modern Python versions (3.10+) and includes an asyncio-compatible module for non-blocking operations. Installation is straightforward via pip, though platform-specific system libraries (like libdbus-1-dev on Linux) may be required. The package carries no Python runtime dependencies, keeping your dependency tree lightweight.","worth_installing":"Yes, with licensing conditions. Install if you need cross-platform BLE support and your use case is non-commercial or you can obtain a commercial license. The library is actively maintained, has no known vulnerabilities, and provides a clean API across platforms. However, verify upfront whether your intended use qualifies as non-commercial under BUSL-1.1 terms, or budget for a commercial license if building proprietary applications."},"id":"simplepyble","links":{"html":"https://skillfed.io/packages/simplepyble","md":"https://skillfed.io/packages/simplepyble.md","pypi":"https://pypi.org/project/simplepyble/"},"maintenance":{"status":"active"},"meta":{"latest_release":"2026-08-10","license_spdx":null,"license_treatment":"noncommercial","name":"simplepyble","python_support":"supports_current","summary":"The ultimate fully-fledged cross-platform BLE library, designed for simplicity and ease of use."},"popularity":{"monthly_downloads":160547,"position":10656,"tier":"top_15000"},"security":{"n_vulnerabilities":0},"version":"1.1.0"}
