Reading Bluetooth with Python

[baruchli]

Hello,

I have brand new Pi 3 B (Linux version 4.4.34-v7+).
As a first stage I want to send to Pi some data via Bluetooth serial interface and read it with Python.
Apart form enabling BT interface, making PI discoverable and pairing it with sending device, what additional option I should enable/packages I should update?

Thank you in advance,
Baruch
