Unknown error when trying to connect to a device

[GoogleCodeExporter]

What steps will reproduce the problem?

>>> from bluetooth import *
>>> sock.connect(("00:1B:AF:84:FF:E2", 18))
connecting to 00:1B:AF:84:FF:E2 port 18
AssignScnValue
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "<stdin>", line 1, in <module>
  File "C:\Python25\Lib\site-packages\bluetooth\widcomm.py", line 428, in
rfcomm_connect
    raise BluetoothError (_port_return_code_to_str (result))
bluetooth.btcommon.BluetoothError: Unknown error

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?
No error and a working connection ;)

What version of the product are you using? On what operating system?
PyBluez 0.15 on Windows Vista (yeah, I know that Vista isn't supported, but
everything else works, e.g. I can search for services)

Is anything else needed?

This issue seems to appear only with Windows Vista. I tried it on the same 
notebook
with Linux and everything works as expected.

Hi,

I don't have a vista computer, and am unfortunately unable to be much help 
here. 
Just for reference, what version of the Widcomm stack are you using?

I'm also having these problems except I'm trying to write a socket server 
program and
I get this error when I call listen().  I'm using Widcomm 6.0.1.3100.

Yeah, Vista / Windows 7 support would be really great. Anybody willing to do 
this? ;)
I've looked through the source and as far as i can tell it won't be really easy
(however i haven't got a clue about the windows api)

Would be willing to test it :)

Hi Everyone,

I am also trying to use the PyBluez module on a Vista with the same problem 
reported 
above. Switching my code and trying on XP works sometimes (not all the time). 
If I 
connct succesfully once and terminate mycode, then I am having to power cycle 
my 
Bluetooth GPS every time I need to run my code the second time. Otherwise it 
doesn't 
work with the error mesage given as above posts. There are some problems in the 
Windows version of this module (particularly bad under Vista). Any plans to fix 
these ? 

I would be happy to help doing this but I don't know how to trace these 
problems and 
my coding skills are not too great. 

Is there any plan to

Hi everyone! Thank you for your work with pybluez! I'm using pybluez for lego 
NXT 
(I'm a contributor for nxt_python) robots and recently I installed windows 7. 
With 
XP, everything ok, but now it does not.  My error is a result that equals 1, 
but i'm 
unable to know what "open_client" returns, because this part is compiled. Can 
anyone 
contribute the source to check if there's anything we can do about this?

 result = self._wc.open_client (port, str_to_BD_ADDR (addr), DEFAULT_MTU)
        if result != _widcomm.RFCOMM_SUCCESS:
            raise BluetoothError (_port_return_code_to_str (result))

Hello,

please look in this mailing list thread: 
http://groups.google.com/group/pybluez/browse_thread/thread/6be8eaeeee029766

I only had to compile PyBluez against the latest Version of Visual C++ and the 
Widcomm SDK. This solved all issues with Windows Vista and Windows 7 for me.

I could send you a binary package if you want. (The source code is PyBluez 
0.17, 
patched with VC++2008.patch)

Attached file PyBluez-0.17.win32-py2.6.exe
I tested this on Windows XP, Windows Vista 32bit and Windows 7 64bit, but don't 
blame 
me if it doesn't work for you.

Greetings,
Lukas

Okay, then I'll close this issue. Feel free to reopen it again if you have 
problems 
with this package.
