Basic Arduino UNO Bluetooth Testing with the BLE 4.0 (CC2541, MLT-BT04 IC)

Update:
Have downloaded, installed and tried a number of python git repos for BLE and macOS. Could not get any of around four python BLE repos to work as I had expected or hoped "out of the box" (for example, no discovery or device listing worked) so I'm going to move this little HM-10 BLE module into temporary storage for now and move on to testing a different Arduino module / shield.
I may return to the HM-10 BLE module if I want to build a BLE app to control some relays with my iPhone, since I was happy with how ArduinoBlue worked OOTB. Unfortunately, ArduinoBlue development seems to be "dead" at the moment and the original developer's email bounces back "account deleted" .
Caveat, I deleted xcode off my mac months ago, so you may have better luck of you use a python wrapper over the xcode BLE libs.
My attention span is now very low with many Arduino modules and shields waiting, in dark, unopened, static resistant packages, to be freed from the drawer, wired up and coded.

python-mkdebian - Generate a suitable Debian source package for a standard distutils application SYNOPSIS
python-mkdebian [options] DESCRIPTION
This script generates a reasonably Debian Policy compliant Debian source package for a Python application that uses distutils properly. It assumes that there are no public Python modules, and generates just a single application binary package. Information is taken from setup.py's generated .egg-info file: author, project name, description, version, upstream source, license, and required and provided Python modules (which are translated to Debian python library package names, and automatically added as package dependencies). It generates a simple cdbs/python-support rules file. python-mkdebian was designed to be used with the DistUtilsExtra.auto module, which calculates required Python dependencies automatically. However, it makes no explicit assumptions about DistUtilsExtra, so if setup.py has complete information it will work with any distutils setup. OPTIONS
--force-control=FORCE_CONTROL Force control file behaviour. Can be one of "none" (keep unchanged), "deps" (only update dependencies), or "full" (recreate whole file). By default only dependencies will be updated ("deps"). --force-copyright Force whole copyright file to be recreated. By default it will not touch an already existing copyright file, so that you can custom- ize them. --force-rules Force whole rules file to be recreated. By default it will not touch an already existing rules file, so that you can customize them. --changelog=CHANGELOG Add changelog entry to debian/changelog (can be specified multiple times) --dependency=PACKAGENAME Add additional debian package dependency (can be specified multiple times) --prefix=PREFIX Ask for installing all your modules in the dedicated PREFIX (default is /usr) --version Show program's version number and exit -h, --help Show this help message and exit SEE ALSO
