Raspberry pi 3 on board bluetooth programming

Question

Hello

everyone, I am a new bee to raspberry pi. I am working on a project with arduino + HC-05 and raspberry pi 3

I have wrote a code to arduino to send temperature data to pi over bluetooth, and python code to receive the data. The python code throws error could not import bluetooth. Please can someone help me to rectify this...

Hope fully this is the last post and solution after following the steps in the link I posted above I did the following sudo python3.4 -m pip install pybluez this succesfully allowed me to import the bluetooth package in python 3.4, for python3.5 try: sudo python3.5 -m pip install pybluez don't forget to do it as root (with sudo). If this fails to work I can only assume that pybluez hasn't been ported over to python3.5 and you are out of luck

You need to install the bluetooth software onto the raspberry pi before you can use it. Open a terminal and enter the commands shown in this github repo https://gist.github.com/lexruee/fa2e55aab4380cf266fb

one of them is sudo apt-get install bluetooth which would make sense
