How to install either pybluez or LightBlue on OSX 10.9 (Mavericks)

Question

I tried installing both pybluez and LightBlue on OSX10.9, but I am getting an error. Has anyone been able to install any of these on Mavericks?

I get this error for LightBlue:

    === BUILD TARGET LightAquaBlue OF PROJECT LightAquaBlue WITH CONFIGURATION Release ===

Check dependencies
error: There is no SDK with the name or path '/Users/myname/Downloads/lightblue-0.4/src/mac/LightAquaBlue/macosx10.6'

** INSTALL FAILED **


The following build commands failed:

and I get this error for pyBluez:
