#75938 — attendance system in pybluez

I want to write a program to help my teacher to take attendence.

There are 300 students in a big room,everyone has android phone.
I have matched them with my pc in win7 .
when all of them seated on the classroom,

import bluetooth
nearby_devices = bluetooth.discover_devices(lookup_names = True)
print("found %d devices" % len(nearby_devices))


The function can discover all of them ? 300 bluetooth mac address?

can i search for a given bluetooth mac?

blue_mac=[]  (i can write it in a list in advance,it is not blank,full 
of strings)

for add in blue_mac:
      print(bluetooth.seacrh_given_mac) #result is true or false

Is there a function to run?

If your students allow strange devices to connect to their android phones,
then they won't remain their android phones for very long. They will belong
to whatever hacker takes control of them first.

You will have to ask the author of the bluetooth module. Where did you find
it? Does it come with documentation? Did you read it?

*Discovery*

    The address and name of enabled devices within range can be
    discovered by other Bluetooth devices. Discovery can take some time
    to complete, given that radio communications is unreliable. The
    following displays address and name of all enabled devices nearby.

        from bluetooth import *

        print "performing inquiry..."

        *nearby_devices = discover_devices(lookup_names = True)*

        print "found %d devices" % len(nearby_devices)

        for name, addr in nearby_devices:
              print " %s - %s" % (addr, name)

        performing inquiry...
        found 2 devices

That only works for phones if the phones are manually switched to
discoverable mode, which is off by default for security reasons.  By
default they are not going to show up on your discovery scans.
