Title:
bittornado / wxpython string decoding error
Status in bittornado package in Ubuntu:
Confirmed
Status in bittornado package in Debian:
Fix Released
Bug description:
Binary package hint: bittornado
Greetings
The interaction between the choose-file dialog from wxpython and
bittornado's btdownloadgui.py seems to have a bug.
Some version information:
bittornado: 0.3.15-2ubuntu1 (bug also confirmed on 0.3.17 from original
provider)
python-wxgtk2.6: 2.6.3.2.1.5
libwxgtk2.6-0: 2.6.3.2.1.5
How to reproduce:
* Find a torrent that saves to a directory where the directory's name
includes an umlauted 'U'. For instance, on mininova.org, search for "neubauten"
and grab one of the umlauted Einsturzende Neubauten's torrents.
* Open the torrent with btdownloadgui.bittornado.
* Select your $HOME as target area for downloading
==> Error
"UnicodeDecodeError: 'ascii' codec can't decode byte 0xc3 in position 5:
ordinal not in range (128)"
The Traceback leads to line 2018, in on ChooseFile, 'if d2 == default'
Other Information:
default's type is a string, while d2, which comes from the Wx File
Dialog, is a unicode object. I tried to get wxpython to use ascii
encoding with wx.SetDefaultPyEncoding but only met exceptions, and
tried to use wxversion to switch to wxpython in ascii mode, but that
didn't help either.
A Workaround:
use --saveas $HOME to prevent the WX File Dialog interaction
completely. However, this leads to strange windowing behavior; the
titlebar of the main window has no text and nothing happens when you
press on "Details". (should I submit another bug, or is this
sufficient?)
