Bluetooth for Python 2.7? [closed]

Question

What is the best way to do bluetooth programming for Python 2.7?

I tried using pybluez, but the downloads appear to go up to only Python 2.6. I also tried downloading the tarball with the source and running python setup.py build, but it failed with an error message stating Can't find the Windows XP Platform SDK (I'm running Windows 8)

I also looked at lightblue, but while it supports Linux and Macs, it doesn't support Windows. The website also states it's no longer maintained.

Python 3.3 and above apparently supports bluetooth using the socket module (via this SO answer), but I'm using 2.7.

None of the existing solutions I found appear to work for me. Is there some other library that I can try that supports Python 2.7, or is there some way I can use any of the above despite the problems listed?

Try the alternative binaries at www.lfd.uci.edu/~gohlke/pythonlibs/#pybluez
