Re: [pygame] pyg_mixer.music.load doesn't take non ascii chars

[Bo Jangeborg]

If I change the single letter that is outside of the
ascii range the file loads perfectly.
os.exists(file_path) evaluates as true even with
the special character so there is nothing
wrong with the file_path.

do you had try
file_path.replace(' ', '\\ ')
?

    I am trying to open an ogg file with:

    file_path = "07-Boabdil, Bulerías.ogg"
     pygame.mixer.music.load(file_path)

    But I get an Error message saying that one of the unicode characters
     are out of range and can not be encoded. If I remove the offending
    character the file loads fine so I assume the problem is that only
    ascii
    is accepted.

    Since os.exists(file_path) evaluates as true I tried using the
    following:

    file_path = "07-Boabdil, Bulerías.ogg"
    fi = open(file_path, 'rb').read()
    pygame.mixer.music.load(fi)

    But that gets me the Error:
    "File path 'OggS' contains null characters"

    Am I doing something wrong or is there no way
    to open a soundfile with non ascii characters ?
    I am running pygame on Windows 7.
