I really want to be able to use dreampie!

error message:

Hi! I found the source of the problem - my windows user name is in Chinese! It's ok when logged in as another windows account which is in pure English...

This problem maybe caused by the very same bug I found in the standard Python lib ntpath.py, check it here:http://code.google.com/p/spyderlib/issues/detail?id=812

update: changing the system's TEMP and TMP environment variables will solve the problem.

Thanks for investigating this!

I have an idea: Can you try to change the line in dreampielib/gui/tags.py

    ssm.set_search_path([dir])

to:

    ssm.set_search_path([dir.encode('utf8')])

and see if it works?

The function _make_style_scheme creates a temporary directory, and I guess that it is made inside you home directory. I think that the problem is that the function set_search_path has a problem with accepting the directory name, because of the characters it contains or the encoding. Perhaps encoding it in UTF8 (which is what GTK functions expect, I believe) will help.

Thanks,
Noam
