The Python examples in the test directory have some dependencies that have issues: [..] Would there be any interest in getting patches to change to these different libraries? Are these test scripts used in any of the automated tests? Can I submit a PR via https://github.com/bluez/bluez/pulls?
Perhaps of relevance: Sanchayan (cc'd) imporved some scripts for Python 3 compatibility (Python 2 is already deprecated for the better part of 1.5 years) and proper formatting [1] while working on BT LDAC [2], some patches made it to the list [3] but were ultimately never merged. Sanchayan, would you be willing to resubmit these? Alternatively Barry can pick them up as part of their quest to improve the scripts for longevity? Disclaimer: I'm not a maintainer, merely a passer-by so don't take my comment as an acknowledgement to go ahead with the changes. But if you do I think everyone appreciates improved shebangs and PEP8 style formatting (I find `black` to perform formatting nicely) along the way just like Sanchayan's patches.
