I guess someone has to help me with this one as I don't own a Mac. If someone with a Mac is around - I need to find a console command that shows the rssi value for a given mac address that is connected per bluetooth . On linux that would be "hcitool rssi BTMACADDR".
If there would be such a tool it would speed up a Mac version. There should be also a tool to start a rfcomm connection to a bluetooth device. Alternatively there should be a python module supplying these functionalities which whould be ideal. Still that would only make up a GTK Mac version. If someone is up to creating a native Mac GUI I would greatly appreciate it and would love to include it into the main distribution.

Well, I can't write Mac apps, so I'm not able to help you. However, I tested that command and it doesn't work. But OSX is a UNIX-based OS, like Linux, so I guess that it would be quite easy to find these apps for OSX too...
Python 2.3 is included by default in Tiger, so you won't need to add this...
I think you can ask in some forum that helps with developing OS X software...

Surfing around the Net, Ive found this article: http://www.hollington.ca/technocrat/The_Technocrat/Entries/2007/3/18_Bluetooth_Proximity_Detection_on_OS_X.html
I think you may find it useful for Mac OSX port... :)
