It lets you interact with Bluetooth hardware directly from Python on Windows, including device discovery, connection management, and data exchange. The package is one of many namespace-specific bindings generated from the Windows SDK; you install only the Bluetooth module rather than a monolithic WinRT package.\n\nThe package depends on winrt-runtime and targets Python 3.9 and later on Windows (32-bit, 64-bit, and ARM64). It is maintained by the community as a successor to Microsoft's original monolithic winrt package and the interim winsdk fork. The codebase is aging but receives updates; the last commit was in December 2025.","worth_installing":"Yes, if you are on Windows and need Bluetooth hardware access from Python. The MIT license is permissive, the package is maintained, and it has no known vulnerabilities. Install friction is moderate due to platform specificity and compiled dependencies, but that is unavoidable for WinRT bindings. Not suitable for cross-platform projects."},"id":"winrt-windows-devices-bluetooth","links":{"html":"https://skillfed.io/packages/winrt-windows-devices-bluetooth","md":"https://skillfed.io/packages/winrt-windows-devices-bluetooth.md","pypi":"https://pypi.org/project/winrt-windows-devices-bluetooth/"},"maintenance":{"status":"aging"},"meta":{"latest_release":"2025-06-06","license_spdx":"MIT","license_treatment":"permissive","name":"winrt-Windows.Devices.Bluetooth","python_support":"supports_current","summary":"Python projection of Windows Runtime (WinRT) APIs"},"popularity":{"monthly_downloads":212401,"position":9457,"tier":"top_15000"},"security":{"n_vulnerabilities":0},"version":"3.2.1"}
