      *"There has been an explosion of IoT software platforms - more than 400 are already on the market, by some counts - and this has created confusion in the marketplace for enterprise users and OEMs. Buyers are looking for hands-on tools to help in procurement. A recent IMC survey of over 100 IoT buyers shows that... 100% of IoT buyers would find template RFP documents useful in their procurement process. 83% of buyers would find 3rd-party reports of vendor compliance (to those RFPs) useful".

So if that's the only blocker for you, you can grab the source, safely remove pexpect from requirements.txt, build, install and you should be fine (without using ble.py, which should work on Linux only, anyway)".
