I'm trying to write a simple Python script to take a few photos using pyindi-client, but I'm having trouble receiving the blob.

I've been using this as a basis:
https://indilib.org/develop/indi-python-bindings.html

Everything about that tutorial works as expected (i.e it connects to the indi server, the mount moves to Vega, etc) but it gets hung up on the following line:

blobEvent.wait()

I know it is taking the photo, as the KStars FITS Viewer opens up with the image capture from the CCD Simulator, but it seems that the python script isn't receiving notification that the blob is available.

If I change the line to:
blobEvent.wait(timeout=10)

The script continues normally after timing out.

Any suggestions?
