What would be the best BLE Library or Framework for Raspberry-pi to exchange with nordic

What would be the best BLE Library or Framework for Raspberry-pi to exchange with nordic?

I'm trying to get data from the NRF51's GATT data.
But there are no reference for how I can get data to PC. There are MCP and NRF-Connect PC version, but they are not for programming purpose.

I'd searched for Python, There are pygattlib (as written in Cpp) but I've having a huge problem with this.

Is there any Package or reference that nordic provides for programming for GATT?

Actually I think pygattlib doesn't have GAP Complete UUID Read function, so I must decide which device to connect with just Device Name.

Is there any package that Nordic Recommends for BLE?

(Progarmming Language doesn't matter, but personally prefer Python.)

Noble seems to be the most developed BLE library (and it's portable!).

Have you tried this library? github.com/.../gattlib

There is a blog post here about using this library, devzone.nordicsemi.com/.../

I took a look at bluepy (github.com/.../bluepy), does not seems complete and lack some functionality. If you don't find anything else that is good I think you can reuse some of the functionality from there.

I put 2 hours to this and were able to find my device, connect, find service, characteristics etc and start sending data (simulating a serial channel). Wanted to make a simple TCP/IP <-> BLE Bridge.

I will take a look at noble i think.

If all you want is a ble <-> tcp bridge take a look at bbowl.

There are also quite a few good examples in this repo.

Thanks a lot, seems very useful. Why reinvent the wheel? :)
