It is part of the modular PyWinRT ecosystem, where each Windows SDK namespace is published as a separate package; this one specifically exposes the advertisement-related Bluetooth functionality.\n\nThe package is Windows-only and requires Python 3.9 or later. It depends on winrt-runtime and is distributed as compiled wheels for multiple Windows architectures (32-bit, 64-bit, ARM64) and Python versions (3.9\u20133.14). It is typically used alongside other winrt-* packages to build applications that need low-level hardware access\u2014such as BLE device scanning, filtering, and monitoring\u2014directly from Python without wrapping native C++ code.","worth_installing":"Yes, if you are on Windows and need to access Bluetooth advertisement APIs from Python. The package is permissively licensed (MIT), has no known vulnerabilities, and covers Python versions through 3.14. However, maintenance is aging (last release June 2025, last commit December 2025); verify that the API surface and stability meet your requirements before committing to it for production use. Not usable on non-Windows platforms."},"id":"winrt-windows-devices-bluetooth-advertisement","links":{"html":"https://skillfed.io/packages/winrt-windows-devices-bluetooth-advertisement","md":"https://skillfed.io/packages/winrt-windows-devices-bluetooth-advertisement.md","pypi":"https://pypi.org/project/winrt-windows-devices-bluetooth-advertisement/"},"maintenance":{"status":"aging"},"meta":{"latest_release":"2025-06-06","license_spdx":"MIT","license_treatment":"permissive","name":"winrt-Windows.Devices.Bluetooth.Advertisement","python_support":"supports_current","summary":"Python projection of Windows Runtime (WinRT) APIs"},"popularity":{"monthly_downloads":210320,"position":9497,"tier":"top_15000"},"security":{"n_vulnerabilities":0},"version":"3.2.1"}
