Public bug reported:
Every time you try to launch eyeD3 with a parameter of the option "-G"
which is not a pure ascii string, you get a crash.
For instance :
<eyeD3 -G "Hello" file> works perfectly
but
<eyeD3 -G "Bébé" file> makes eyeD3 crash!
The problem seems to be in the method called parse of the class Genre.
This method may have a string asa parameter. This string can be encoded
different ways depending on where it comes from : either according to
the encoding scheme of the tag being read from a file, or according to
the LOCALE when it is provided as the parameter of the -G option. The
parse method needs a utf-8 encoded string and tries to encode its
parameter accordingly. This causes an automatic decode operation using
ascii as the default encoding scheme : if the string contains character
values not in the ascii character set, the program crashes!!
May be it would be better if the parameter of parse could be provided as a
unicode object. This object should be built by the
caller using a decode operation with the appropriate encoding scheme at the
time this scheme is known.... That's just a suggestion..
