v0.8.3 over Python3: 'OSError' object has no attribute 'message': trying to rename a file

[marcelpaulo]

I'm trying to rename these files:

paulo@monk:~/tmp/Atrium Musicæ de Madrid/Monodia Cortesana Medieval • Música Arábigo-Andaluza$ ls -1
01 Marcabru: Pax in nomine Domini.mp3
02 Palou: De la iensor.mp3
03 Palou: Dona, la ienser.mp3
04 Montaudo: Fort m'enoia.mp3
05 Borneil: Reis glorios.mp3
06 Cardenal: Un sirventés.mp3
07.mp3
08.mp3
09.mp3
10.mp3
11.mp3
12.mp3
13.mp3
14.mp3
15.mp3
16.mp3
17.mp3
18.mp3
19.mp3
20.mp3

using:

eyeD3 --rename '$track:num $title' .

and I'm getting this error:

Here's my version, encoding and Python version:

paulo@monk:~/tmp$ eyeD3 --version

paulo@monk:~/tmp$ python3 --version
Python 3.6.3
paulo@monk:~/tmp$ python3 -c 'import sys; print(sys.getfilesystemencoding())'
utf-8

Let me know how I can help debug this further.

54b4735 fixes this traceback, but not the actual rename error. Should be more info if you can run on HEAD.

[marcelpaulo]

if you can run on HEAD.

Apologies if perhaps I'm asking a dummy question, @nicfit: what do you mean by that ?

[nicfit]

I mean, run/test off the latest git ... rather than waiting for a release that includes 54b4735

[marcelpaulo]

Oh, I understand now, thanks. Will do it right way and post back the results.

[marcelpaulo]

Perfect: no traceback, and if I try to rename it to the same name, the message makes sense:

File '/home/paulo/tmp/01 Marcabru: Pax in nomine Domini.mp3' exists, will not overwrite

It might have seemed a bit daft trying to rename it to the same name, but the case was: I had a CD where some of the tracks were named to my standard and some weren't, so when I run eyeD3 --rename on the directory, some files needed renaming and some didn't.

Should I close the issue or you ? Not sure about the protocol here.

Thank you so much, @nicfit, for the swift resolution !

And thanks for reporting @marcelpaulo and helping make eyeD3 more solid!
FWIW, it's cool to close your own bug reports, unless the author reopens.
