The problem
KeyError: 'A07498CA-AD5B-474E-940D-16F1FBE7E8CD'

Reproduction
On windows 10: ..\examples\server.py

Expected behavior
I would like to get acquainted with bless and hence try to run server.py, expecting it would run.

Desktop (please complete the following information):

• OS: Windows 10

Additional context
No additional information, using server.py out of the box.

My name is Wouter Dubbeldam from the Netherlands and I am delighted that there is a library to create BLE-servers; it might be a great addition to FortiusAnt.
Pointing me in the right direction would be really appreciated!

Hmmmm...

Changing

    my_service_uuid = "A07498CA-AD5B-474E-940D-16F1FBE7E8CD"
    my_char_uuid = "51FF12BB-3ED8-46E5-B4F9-D64E2FEC021B"

into

    my_service_uuid = "a07498ca-ad5b-474e-940d-16f1fbe7e8cd"
    my_char_uuid = "51ff12bb-3ed8-46e5-b4f9-d64e2fec021b"

solves the problem....

(Not that examples\server.py now works, but that may be another issue)

[WouterJD]

Perhaps def add_new_characteristic
should add service_uuid = str(UUID(service_uuid))

like def update_value does

Thanks @WouterJD!

Feel free to make a pull request for this if this solves the issue, otherwise I’ll see if I can get to this soon.

[WouterJD]

Will do.
Thanks for reaction, struggling on windows 10...
