I have a small python program that uses the pyexiv2 package to view
exif data in image files.
I've hit a problem because I have a filename with accented characters
in its path and the pyexiv2 code traps as follows:-
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "/home/chris/bin/eview.py", line 87, in <module>
image = pyexiv2.ImageMetadata(filepath)
File "/usr/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/pyexiv2/metadata.py", line 65, in
__init__
self.filename = filename.encode(sys.getfilesystemencoding())
UnicodeDecodeError: 'ascii' codec can't decode byte 0xc3 in position 38:
ordinal not in range(128)
Without digging deep into pyexiv2 is there any way I can work around
this error? The accented characters aren't in the filename itself,
they're in the directory path. I.e. it's:-
./1977/04 April/#09 - Monaco, inc. Musée de Poupée/p77_08_011.jpg
I could of course remove the accents but I'd much prefer not to do so.
