First run problems

[tscrip]

I just created a fresh virtualenv and did pip install pychromecast. I followed it up with pip install pychromecast --upgrade to update all of the dependencies to the latest versions, but no mater what I do, I seem to ALWAYS get this error. I realize that it is a zerconf error, but I figured you guys might have an idea of what is causing it.

Exception in thread zeroconf-Engine:
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/System/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/2.7/lib/python2.7/threading.py", line 810, in __bootstrap_inner
    self.run()
  File "/Users/tscrip/Development/Python/venv/lib/python2.7/site-packages/zeroconf.py", line 946, in run
    rr, wr, er = select.select(rs, [], [], self.timeout)
error: (9, 'Bad file descriptor')

I am using the very basic code that is posted on the home page:

from __future__ import print_function
import time
import pychromecast

pychromecast.get_chromecasts_as_dict().keys()

Not sure what it could be. I suggest to try it with Python 3.

[tscrip]

I will give that a try. If that is the solution, can we get the documentation updated? I would hate for someone to run into the same issue that I am experiencing.

As far as I know it's not a common issue.

It's nice to be important but it's more important to be nice.

Ok. I just did the exact same test with Python 3, and it worked with NO issues.

Also getting this exact same issue with Python 2.7.12 on macOS Sierra.

Worked fine with python3 installed via brew.

The problem comes from zconf.close() in https://github.com/balloob/pychromecast/blob/master/pychromecast/discovery.py#L90.

This is a duplicate of #59 and will be fixed by python-zeroconf/python-zeroconf#88.

I can confirm that manually applying the changes from python-zeroconf/python-zeroconf@4475cbc solves this issue for me

FYI python-zeroconf 0.18.0 with the relevant patch has just been released.
