gatttool is deprecated
I'm having a hard time finding any official notification, but it looks like hcitool and gatttool are being deprecated by BlueZ. The latest package installed in Arch doesn't include it, and you have to install bluez-utils-compat from the AUR.
Ideally, pygatt can move away from shelling out the CLI tool so this doesn't matter - e.g. the work in progress in #95.
I'm creating this issue for awareness in case anyone else is on bleeding edge distro and finds these tools are suddenly missing.
gattool is deprecated.
commit b1eb2c4cd057624312e0412f6c4be000f7fc3617 Author: Luiz Augusto von Dentz [email protected] Date: Wed Jan 4 14:23:58 2017 +0200
build: Hide deprecated tools under --enable-deprecated
This marks the following tools as deprecated as they are not longer maintained or have been replaced by other tools:
hciattach hciconfig hcitool hcidump rfcomm sdptool ciptool gatttool
for ArchLinux you can use https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/bluez-utils-compat/ to workaround the problem. But I still think it is necessary that pygatt doesn't require an deprecated tool form bluez-utils. However bluez-utils-compat doesn't solve the problem for me as it is not available for ARM platform.
bluepy seems to work around the problem by compiling bluez during pip install.

You can get gatt information using
btgatt-client -d <mac address>
Here is a sample output I got:
btgatt-client -d 58:2D:34:37:00:42
