module 'socket' has no attribute 'AF_BLUETOOTH'

This is the output which gets triggered as soon as I try to pair the device:

Any idea on how to fix this? Thanks in advance. Btw, using openSUSE Tumbleweed.

must be an opensuse problem same error message here since this is from 4 months ago without a response im assuming there is no fix so far is there?

I'm having the same problem on Ubuntu 18.04

Update: I was able to fix the problem by just cloning the repo and installing from source. Seems like it might just be the version of ds4drv installed through pip that is the issue.

@JackMiranda same here with Ubuntu 18.04

Your problem is that the python version you are using does have proper Bluetooth support! I had the same problem when installed python from source and did not have libbluetooth-dev package installed on my system! So, install libbluetooth-dev (or something similar in other than Debian), and reinstall python. The easiest way to check it is working is to fireup a python console from terminal and try this:

from socket import AF_BLUETOOTH

Having the same problem on arch with the newest bluez-utils-compat release

On OpenSUSE, it seems that python is compiled without bluetooth support because the compilation introduces a circular dependency.

The solution suggested in that thread is to use pybluez BluetoothSocket:
