You mean as in "(micro)python module" or as in "small board with a bluetooth chip on it"?

What I'm looking for is a kind of library so I can do "import bluetooth" or something like that.
I want to send data from the ESP to my phone and I know the board I'm using supports bluetooth

To my knowledge, neither the official beta port for the ESP32 nor the fork by loboris have working support for Bluetooth yet. But apparently loboris is currently working on adding support to his fork.

In that case, any suggestion o how to make that connection ? How about a bluetooth module HC-05 using the UART port?

Yes, those are easy to use, but HM-05 only supports Bluetooth 2. For Bluetooth 4.0 / LE, get a HM-10.

If you can use an external module take a look at https://github.com/dmazzella/uble
Uble uses the SPBTLE-RF module of STMicroelectronics, breakout board you can find it here https://nifteecircuits.com/products/low ... smart-v4-1 or http://www.st.com/en/ecosystems/x-nucleo-idb05a1.html

I haven't been able to do it. What I am trying to do is:

sent a data that I get from a light sensor, via bluetooth, to an app on my phone

Any suggestions or help coding would be very apreciated
