Support for Mac OS X (10.9, 10.10) about bluepy HOT 8 CLOSED

Realistically, Mac OS support isn't going to be added to Bluepy any time soon.

Interested parties might want to look at https://github.com/TheCellule/python-bleson, which supports Mac OS but is still somewhat under development.

@Wind-rider are you syaing pygattlib supports OSX? When I try to install it on OSX I get:

OSError: Not supported OS

Full error:

https://bitbucket.org/OscarAcena/pygattlib does this, you can have a look at how they integrated the OSX part and the abstraction layer there. I would also say that bluepy could improve upon this point - being cross platform would be a major advantage.

@mritchie712 I'm sorry, I must have confused it.

However here https://github.com/matthewelse/bleep/ says to have experimental OSX support besides Linux support, with two backends as shown in https://github.com/matthewelse/bleep/blob/master/bleep/backend.py.

This could be an example for bluepy?

@Wind-rider that looks promising, thanks!

@mritchie712 did you get past the issue? I'm battling the same right now.

No, I ended up using ionic (JavaScript framework) instead

Bummer but thanks for letting us know
