Comment 4 for bug 880452

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
