htm match expects ascii names for matchfile; fails silently for unicode names
GoogleCodeExporter opened this issue · comments
What steps will reproduce the problem?
matchfile = u'filename'
h = eu.htm.HTM(8)
h.match(lenses['RA'], lenses['DEC'], shapes[config['shape_ra_key']],
shapes[config['shape_dec_key']], maxrange, maxmatch=-1, file=matchfile)
What is the expected output? What do you see instead?
No matchfile is created, no error/warning message is throw. Unicode names are
returned by some of python filesystem function, in this case glob, which cause
the code to fail working properly.
What version of the product are you using? On what operating system?
esutil 0.5.1 on Linux with python 2.7.3

Yes, this is because I'm checking for a python string in the c++ code. I need
to do something smarter.

It doesn't have to be much smarter, but a warning message would help.

in the mean time you can call the code with str(filename) and it should work.

In the trunk I've added a warning, and converted unicode to string.
In the longer term, need to deal properly with wide chars at the C++ level
