You have to send a greeting first, something like

	LYXSRV:pyblio:hello

I don't understand your problem with keys like AVK+99... This is an
identifier, independant of what the actual reference will _look like_.
And I can use them in LyX with no change.

If you really want to convert the keys, there is always the
possibility of writing a pybliographer script, but for the moment, I
just can't see the reason you would need that.
