[PyQt] "This Windows version does not support the required Bluetooth API"

[Kyle Altendorf]

Thanks Bryan, 

I thought of exactly this issue and even searched for such imports... 
but still managed to miss the one file where I did this.  All better now
and I'll share the knowledge in the links I shared initially. 

Cheers,
