Hi,
I tried to play around with the advice you gave me.
When I do this in the directory containing an unicode-named mp3:
import os, shutil
os.listdir(os.getcwdu())
I get :
[u'The Pixies - Where is my mind (fight club).mp3', u'???.mp3']
Than, if try to copy it with :
shutil.copy(os.listdir(os.getcwdu())[1],u'test.mp3')
I get :
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "<stdin>", line 1, in <module>
File "/usr/lib/python2.5/shutil.py", line 80, in copy
copyfile(src, dst)
File "/usr/lib/python2.5/shutil.py", line 46, in copyfi
fsrc = open(src, 'rb')
IOError: [Errno 2] No such file or directory: u'???.mp3'
Have you any idea why this is not working on my computer ?
Tanks,
