The Linux Bluetooth stack is called BlueZ, and doesn't depend on Python. On Debian you can install libbluetooth-dev to do Bluetooth development in C. Some discussion of Bluetooth programming in C is here: https://people.csail.mit.edu/albert/bluez-intro/c404.html You may also need the helper programs located in the bluez package - that pulls in DBus + Glib. Not sure. My own limited experience is that bluez has an alright API for traditional bluetooth devices, but is sort of crap when it comes to Bluetooth LE. hope that helps. yours, Bobby
