"pip[*]" is a tool to install Python packages -- typically from
the Python package index (-->"https://pypi.org").
The error message above indicates that "bluetoothctl" is not
managed by this package index.

I assume that it is not a Python package at all (but rather some
command line utility in some operating system package). At least
on my Ubuntu 18.04, "bluetoothctl" is an operating system utility.

*from sh import bluetoothctl*

*mac = "your bluetooth mac"*
*bluetoothctl("connect", mac)*

I do not know the "sh" package. It might be a utility
that turns a command line utility into a Python callable --
implicitely on "import" of the corresponding name.

If this is the case, it may confuse "PyCharm" (which does not
expect such dynamism). You could then safely ignore this confusion.

Try to execute your code. Should you get an exception
(e.g. an `ImportError: cannot import "bluetoothctl" from module "sh"`),
then come back.
