PyBluez is only for PC. Try lightblue

Download and install the master distribution: https://github.com/postskolkovo/lightblue-0.4

cd ~/Downloads/lightblue-0.4-master
sudo python setup.py install

If you get the error:

Check dependencies
No architectures to compile for (ARCHS=$(NATIVE_ARCH_ACTUAL), VALID_ARCHS=i386 x86_64).

** INSTALL FAILED **

you'll have to open up setup.py and change:

os.system("xcodebuild install -arch '$(NATIVE_ARCH_ACTUAL)' -target LightAquaBlue -configuration Release DSTROOT=/ INSTALL_PATH=/Library/Frameworks DEPLOYMENT_LOCATION=YES")

to:

os.system("xcodebuild install -arch 'i386' -target LightAquaBlue -configuration Release DSTROOT=/ INSTALL_PATH=/Library/Frameworks DEPLOYMENT_LOCATION=YES")
