I'm a newbie in python programming and I got a serious problem.

I try to make a client-server bluetooth connection using PC as server and mobile phone (symbian S60) as client.

I'm using PyBluez to develop my server and should be like this:

from bluetooth import *

server_sock=BluetoothSocket( RFCOMM )

port = 9
server_sock.bind(("",port))
server_sock.listen(1)
print "listening on port %d" % port

uuid = "c3453417-9a0f-4cae-a380-e70fc41818b7"
advertise_service( server_sock, uuid, u'FooBar Service',
service_classes = [ uuid, SERIAL_PORT_CLASS ],
profiles = [ SERIAL_PORT_PROFILE ])

client_sock,address = server_sock.accept()
print "Accepted connection from ",address

client_sock.close()
server_sock.close()

That script runs normally on my desktop, but the main problem is occured when I tried to discover the advertised service from my mobile phone (Nokia 6600) using python script like this:

import socket

addr,serv = socket.bt_discover()
print addr,serv

conn = socket.socket(sock.AF_BT, sock.SOCK_STREAM)
if 'FooBar Service' in serv:
try:
conn.connect((addr, serv[u'FooBar Service']))
except:
print 'connection failed'
else:
print 'service not found'

When I run this script and reach the 'socket.bt_discover()' statement my mobile phone starting discover nearby device like usual, but when I select the bluetooth device according to my server device (desktop) the application even the python interpreter it self runs down/exit/crash (i don't know how to mention it) by it's own to phone's main menu.

I've tried to using any exception to get error information, but it useless 'cause it still crashes the interpreter.

I also tried using J2ME to check if the server is working properly, and I got it connected perfectly.

Could anybody help me with this problem, please?

I find the same crashing bug when using either Lightblue bluetooth api or even the standard socket module to run a bt_discover function.

I think that it is a known bug for some time now, and I think (may be wrong) its an error with the Python for S60 Interpreter itself. I dont know of a fix, if anyone knows I would also really appreciate this!!

Thank you benjee for your reply...

I think the problem is how pyS60 advertises/finds service to/from other bluetooth API. Usually other bluetooth API using UUID to advertise or find service as the main parameter, but pyS60 only using service-name. Maybe it's related with service discovery problem.
