then I arm throttle == ARMED
but when I try to get mode guided , we get this message on console:
Got MAVLink msg: COMMAND_ACK {command : 176, result : 3}

It cannot switch to any mode

UDDATE: I deinstalled your copy of PYMAVLINK and installed the standard method :
sudo pip install pymavlink
and I could change modes on the simulator
