Raspberry Pi Python3 Bluetooth device Scanner

There’s a recent open source Python3 Bluetooth device scanner SDL_Pi_iBeaconScanner that reads iBeacon advertisements using a Bluetooth dongle on a Raspberry Pi.

The code comes from the APress book Raspberry Pi IoT Projects: Prototyping Experiments for Makers.

Full source code from the book is also available.
