Xbee python library error on Raspberry Pi - "digi.xbee.exception.XBeeException: Packet listener is not running"

I have Xbee Pro S1 wired to A-model Pi. Installed Digi python library from github & solved (I think) all dependancies that threw exeptions. Serial, ipaddress & enum et al.

I have 2x end node Xbees sending IO data to coordinator/Pi @1Hz. I can see the packets arriving with:

cat /dev/ttyAMA0 |hexdump

when I work thru the python lib tute, opening the serial port throws:

Traceback (most recent call last):

digi.xbee.exception.XBeeException: Packet listener is not running.

I spent a few hours attempting to follow the logging part of the tute, but I have’t been sucessful at that.

Port settings:
pi@raspberrypi ~ $ stty -F /dev/ttyAMA0
