[Python] Create a Python Bluetooth audio streaming server on Windows 10

Ok either I'm losing my mind or Windows is doing something else. I want to create a Bluetooth server within Python that users, on their phones, may connect to and stream audio, but when I run it my computer is not visible from any device. I don't want to make it available using the default Windows settings, as then the Windows will take control over the interaction.

import socket

HOST_MAC_ADDR = "38:fc:98:6e:2a:bb" # wtvr ur Bluetooth MAC address is
PORT = 3

server = socket.socket(socket.AF_BLUETOOTH, socket.SOCK_STREAM, socket.BTPROTO_RFCOMM)
server.bind((HOST_MAC_ADDR, PORT))
server.listen(10)

print("Waiting for connections")

try:
client, address = server.accept()
print(f"Connected to {address}")

while True:
data = client.recv(1024)

if not data:
break

print(f"Recieved: {data.decode("utf-8")}")
client.send(data)

except KeyboardInterrupt:
print("Closing time.")

finally:
client.close()
server.close()


So when I tried to make Windows show my device, Windows took control over Bluetooth and not my python script.

When I tried to run the program only the first line is visible in the output, and the computer is not visible from my phone.

What might be something I should do or rewrite to achieve a proper Bluetooth server using Sockets and Python.

TLDR: Code not working properly, I have no idea why. Bluetooth is funny.
