Just to follow up on my own email (for the sake of future Google searchers), I did arrive at a solution to my problem. I switched to using the pybluez "bluetooth" module under Linux and talking to the Bluetooth device using sockets instead of the RFCOMM serial device: http://pybluez.googlecode.com/svn/www/docs-0.7/index.html Some example code: import bluetooth address = "XX:XX:XX:XX:XX:XX" port = 3 # connect to channel 3 socket = bluetooth.BluetoothSocket( bluetooth.RFCOMM ) socket.connect((address, port)) while True: try: byte = sock.recv(1) print byte except Exception, e: print e sock.close() I still don't understand why attempting to access the RFCOMM serial device directly was failing under Linux but at least I am able to proceed with my driver development.
