After trying to run this library as well as a web gui front end I realized that the bluetooth cannot possible run in a thread, process, child sub process and the problem is fixable by adding the following lines to the provider.py initialize function in the CoreBluetoothProvider class.
More details can be seen from this stack overflow post:

Merging this in will make the library much more robust for a range of application where the bluetooth runs in the background.
