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

[Gino Ingras <ginoingras@xxxxxxxxx>]

assume in line 2:
# -*- coding: utf8 -*-
...
from codecs import open
...

#don't know if your file_path is hard coded, if not you may
file_path = file_path.decode('utf8')
...

#and then, as Greg told:
pygame.mixer.music.load(open(file_path))

work fine on win7 and linux(Mint17)

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

music.load() expects to be passed the name of a file,
not the contents of the file. Just do this:

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