Failing basic start with connect_device_package on Windows 10

[lthiery-molekule]

Sorry to post another issue, but I'm failing at the exact same point on Windows 10.

From Powershell, I run start.ps1

Running pub/sub sample application...

OSError: [WinError 10038] An operation was attempted on something that is not a socket```

When I Google the issue, it seems to be that the socket is closed too soon... but if so, this is a problem with the source of this project.

Best,

Hi @lthiery-molekule ,

Thank you very much for your interest in AWS IoT Python SDK.

One thing that I noticed here is, you are using Python 3.6 to run the SDK sample. There is a known issue with Python 3.6 regarding their breaking changes in socket: #29

Can you try the fix mentioned in the post above and see if the issue still exists?

Thanks,
Liusu
