hbldh/bleak: BLE platform-Agnostic Klient (for Python)
I use blatann, provides both central and peripheral APIs. Mostly use it for creating simulators when developing the counterpart device. API can be as simple or complex as you want depending on your needs

Sending data from Windows PC to microcontroller using BLE
I've used Bleak in Python https://github.com/hbldh/bleak to connect to BLE devices from my laptop using the built-in card. I can iterate over services/characteristics, transmit stuff, use indicates, etc.

Reading Data from an Arduino BLE using Raspberry Pi
On the Raspberry Pi I recommend the Python library Bleak. It has some examples, such as the sensortag.py example that shows how to read characteristics, and the enable_notifications.py example that shows how to subscribe to notifications to read data from a characteristic.

Automating Testing for BLE Devices
We’ve automated testing on our BLE device. Our rig is based on a Raspberry pi configured with a Gitlab-runner that runs a test suite written in Python. We use a library called Bleak: https://github.com/hbldh/bleak

Raspberry Pi, meet Arduino. Arduino, meet Raspberry Pi. Let’s talk Bluetooth (LE)
There are quite a few good BLE helper libraries out there that can make my job easier. But not all are created equal, some may be perfect for building peripheral BLE applications but may not be the best for central BLE applications. As I am going to make the Raspberry Pi the client, Bleak is a great one to use. Bleak is a GATT client software, capable of connecting to BLE devices acting as GATT servers. It is designed to provide a asynchronous, cross-platform Python API to connect and communicate with other BLE devices e.g. sensors.

Bluetooth package that works with MacOS Monterey
There is a workaround in here although they claim this is fixed in most recent update: https://github.com/hbldh/bleak/issues/720

ESP32 Python BLE example
If your Python script on your computer should work as the GATT client and your code on the ESP32 as the GATT server, Bleak is an easy-to-use Python library. Have a look at the code examples.
