Package: python-eyed3
Version: 0.6.3-1
Severity: normal
Tags: patch
If an ID3 tag contains a date frame consisting of a \0 byte and nothing
else, eyed3 makes an attempt to strip the \0 byte out. There are in fact
two pieces of code which try to do that: one using the unicode.strip method,
and one with an explicit loop. The latter coincidentally converts the
string from unicode to str. In a subsequent iteration of the loop, that
causes an assertion that the string is of type unicode to fail.
Patch below.
