Contributors Wanted
-------------------
**This project is not under active development.** Contributions are strongly
desired to resolve compatibility problems on newer systems, address bugs, and
improve platform support for various features.
Examples
--------
```python
# simple inquiry example
import bluetooth
nearby_devices = bluetooth.discover_devices(lookup_names=True)
print("Found {} devices.".format(len(nearby_devices)))
for addr, name in nearby_devices:
print(" {} - {}".format(addr, name))
```
```python
# bluetooth low energy scan
from bluetooth.ble import DiscoveryService
service = DiscoveryService()
devices = service.discover(2)
for address, name in devices.items():
print("name: {}, address: {}".format(name, address))
```
