Whipper fails to analyze drive

[copyread]

First time trying whipper. After entering the command whipper drive analyze, ~2 minutes of seemingly normal drive operation follow, then it makes a weird, stuttering repetitive noise for 10 seconds, then throws this error:

CRITICAL:whipper.command.main:exception TypeError at /usr/lib/python3.8/site-packages/whipper/program/cdparanoia.py:606: failed(): sequence item 0: expected str instance, bytes found

also, CD that I used: Deep Purple - Slaves and Masters. Can be used to configure AccurateRip for EAC.

It seems installing whipper broke something in my system, I can't even rip a DVD I successfully ripped before with dvdbackup, now getting read errors. (I didn't try to rip the DVD on Windows, I'm not an expert on this system. I can say it plays fine in WMP though)

I didn't break my drive, I still can get a bit-perfect copy of Slaves and Masters (according to AccurateRip) on EAC @ Windows.

Hi, this appears to be a duplicate of issue #431 which was fixed in pull request #434 (commit 29ee670). We still need to tag an updated version of whipper...

Sorry but I think this isn't related to / caused by this issue.
