Unable to Change VehicleMode to "GUIDED" in Python DroneKit Script

[ViniciusHansen]

I am facing an issue in my Python script using the DroneKit library, specifically with changing the VehicleMode to "GUIDED." The script seems to be stuck in the "STABILIZE" mode, and despite setting the mode to "GUIDED," it does not take effect.

# ... (existing code)

def arm_and_takeoff(altitude):
   while not vehicle.is_armable:
      print("waiting to be armable")
      time.sleep(1)

   print("Arming motors")
   vehicle.mode = VehicleMode("GUIDED")
   print(vehicle.mode)  # This prints "VehicleMode:STABILIZE" instead of "VehicleMode:GUIDED"
   vehicle.armed = True

   while not vehicle.armed:
      time.sleep(1)

   print("Taking Off")
   vehicle.simple_takeoff(altitude)

   while True:
      v_alt = vehicle.location.global_relative_frame.alt
      print(">> Altitude = %.1f m" % v_alt)
      if v_alt >= altitude - 1.0:
          print("Target altitude reached")
          break
      time.sleep(1)

# ... (rest of the code)

output:
