pc-ble-python-py v0.12.0

[Mark Nolan]

Hi,

I'm not sure if I'm doing something wrong so I'm hoping someone can help me. After updating from 0.11.4 to 0.12.0 of pc-ble-python-py, I get the following error. I've tried this on both Python 2.7 and Python 3.7.3 with the same result. The script was working fine previously with Python 2.7 + pc-ble-python-py 0.11.4.

The contents of the lib directory are as follows:

Thank you,

Mark

This looks a bit similar with this one: https://github.com/NordicSemiconductor/pc-ble-driver-py/issues/115 .

If you install pc-ble-driver-py to clean environment it won't work until you replace nrf-ble-driver-sd_api_v5-mt-gd-4_1_1.dll file from here: https://github.com/NordicSemiconductor/pc-ble-driver/releases/tag/v4.1.1

-> 

nrf-ble-driver-4.1.1-win_x86_32.zip

nrf-ble-driver-4.1.1-win_x86_64.zip

And note that you have to use right zip depends on which python (32/64) you are using + dll filename need to be renamed to match the original dll filename..

May be that virtualenv just pop ups this issue because it changes PATH's and library probably recognise dll first from inside package, not from external source where it might be when using/installing globally, and package dll is not correct one causing failure above..etc.. 

-> Anyway, this is really an bug in package which should be fixed asap. Currently this causes workaround to get library working.
