The major change is to the Bluetooth address struct. It now has an added value for the distinction between "public" and "random" 4.x addresses. Also some added constants to open LE connections. On Jul 14, 2014 5:32 PM, "R. David Murray" <rdmurray at bitdance.com> wrote:

It would be really nice to answer that and the related testing questions. The socket module has bluetooth support, but there are no tests. An effort to write some was started at the Bloomberg sprint last month, but nothing has been posted to the issue yet: http://bugs.python.org/issue7687 Is Bluetooth 4.0 something different from what the socket module already has? --David
