Issue with _getavailableport (OSX 10.6)

[TheOnlyHarry]

When running one of the examples I run into the following error:

$ python simple_server.py 
/opt/local/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/2.6/lib/python2.6/site-packages/lightblue/_bluetoothsockets.py:42: DeprecationWarning: the sets module is deprecated
  import sets     # python 2.3
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "simple_server.py", line 8, in <module>
    sock.bind(("", 0))    # bind to 0 to bind to a dynamically assigned channel
  File "/opt/local/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/2.6/lib/python2.6/site-packages/lightblue/_bluetoothsockets.py", line 297, in bind
    address = (address[0], _getavailableport(self.__conn.proto))
  File "/opt/local/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/2.6/lib/python2.6/site-packages/lightblue/_bluetoothsockets.py", line 62, in _getavailableport
    result, channelID, servicerecordhandle = BBServiceAdvertiser.addRFCOMMServiceDictionary_withName_UUID_channelID_serviceRecordHandle_(BBServiceAdvertiser.serialPortProfileDictionary(), "DummyService", None)
TypeError: Need 5 arguments, got 3

It seems like the call to BBServiceAdvertiser.addRFCOMMServiceDictionary_<snip> does not return a tuple but the int value "-536870199" which causes the exception "'int' object is not iterable" to be thrown.

Any ideas on how to fix this?

I also have the same error. Is this project dead?
