[Python-modules-team] Bug#878623: python-acoustid: acoustid.fingerprint_file(p) fails with TypeError: data must be bytes, buffer, or memoryview

[Greg Schmidt]

Package: python-acoustid
Version: 1.1.2-2
Severity: normal

Dear Maintainer,

Encounted a type error when i called acoustid.fingerprint_file()
the target file was .ogg, 
I was able to workaround the problem by making the file:
      "/usr/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/chromaprint.py"
inaccessable. I saw in the code that it falls back to using the fpcalc program.

Ran it under pdb and see that the buffer is <type bytearray> but chromaprint
doesn't accept the bytearray type

-- pdb session
