PyObex from socket import MSG_WAITALL

UPDATE: I was able to get this working on a Linux OS with Python 2.7 and PyOBEX. I still don't know the cause of the below, but suspect that it is due to my machine being windows or the way I installed it.

I am looking to send files with OBEX (OBject EXchange) from an Android. I am working with Windows 10. I have installed PyBluez and PyOBEX. I am trying to run the example given on the PyOBEX documentation page.

from PyOBEX.client import BrowserClient
port = 12
addr = '5C:AF:06:E1:81:7B'
client = BrowserClient(addr, port)
client.connect()
client.listdir()
client.disconnect()

But I am getting this error when I try to import.

File "pyobexTest", line 1, in from PyOBEX.client import BrowserClient File "C:\Python27\lib\site-packages\PyOBEX\client.py", line 26, in from common import OBEX_Version File "C:\Python27\lib\site-packages\PyOBEX\common.py", line 24, in from socket import MSG_WAITALL ImportError: cannot import name MSG_WAITALL

I was following this link: Python and Bluetooth/OBEX, where I saw that someone with XP got this same message. Does this mean that PyOBEX doesn't work for Windows 10? Is there a way to correct this error or perhaps another library that would be more effective for Windows? Btw, I am using Python 2.7 (I also tried 3.6 and that seemed to also have some issues).

Sorry to hear that you had problems on Windows, especially as it was so recently, because the MSG_WAITALL problems on Windows were fixed quite a long time ago but the fix may not be in the PyPI distributed versions of PyOBEX.

The package is maintained and distributed from this repository these days:

https://bitbucket.org/dboddie/pyobex

PyOBEX should also work with Python 3 but you will need to use the python3 branch instead of the default branch.
