4h in, 20% done.. will.. not.. give.. up..

you've tagged 20% of your music in 4 hours?

luks: still alive? got another python-quiz for you :p

yep, still here :)

need a workaround for this error "UnicodeEncodeError: 'ascii' codec can't encode characters in position 10-12: ordinal not in range(128)"

apparently i'm getting some string with weird characters

use unicode objects

canidae: so you're on a mission to: 1) keep everyone young; 2) give everyone a few grey hairs :)

canidae: python uses only ascii for implicit conversions between str and unicode

yllona: i'm not quite sure what my mission is, although i suspect i won't have any hair left on my head if i don't get this working within the end of the week :p'

to you have to call e.g. something.encode('utf-8')

*so

canidae: :)

yay! luks to the rescue ;)

luks: so... you're suggesting i do a "text.encode('utf-8')" then?

what exactly are you doing?

well :)

if you need to pass the string to some external library which expects UTF-8 then yes

right

*breathe*

ok, so i got pylucene up & running after alot of pain, i've made a cute index just below 2gb and i'm fetching fields from a document

it works well for most, but at least one artist didn't like when i tried to "print doc.get('artist')"

not quite sure what more i can say, it borks when i try to do that print :)

print uses the encoding from your locale

unless you redirect the output to a file

then it uses ascii

it's a cgi-script, so i guess it outputs to apache :p

yeah, then you probably need to encode it explicitly

okay, i'm off to bed

good night

or good morning :)

well that's the oddest...

oh wait, it isn't :)

이동준

no wonder it borked if it tried to display that as ascii

Hi folks!

Am I supposed to leave in spelling mistakes in track titles?

I believe it's quoted as the artists' choice, check the covers?

I do have the original CD, but I'm unsure if it's the artist (Jim Croce) choice to name it "It does'nt have to be that way"

(while I'm not a native english speaker, I believe it should be "doesn't")

Yeah, that looks horrible. :p

I guess it's a stupid compilation.. but it is acually printed that way

I think I'll try to make it correct english. Other compilations also use the correct title

i think it should become a separately listed track with the annotation of being an extraordinary curiosity

I could add an annotation to the release mentioning the error, but should the title of the track be the original or the corrected one then?

if other releases use the correct title, then it's no artist intent and it should be corrected, IMHO

Freso: Ping?

intgr: Pong!

Album cover mistakes are regularly corrected. We want correct info, not the cover designer's inability to spell...

I'm at work (= on Windows) and I'd like to bump Picard to 0.7.1 in my overlay. Could you test it for me?

luks: ftp.musicbrainz.org appears to be missing picard-0.7.1.tar.gz

In http://ftp.musicbrainz.org/pub/musicbrainz/picard/

Now this is odd. I could've sworn I saw a 0.7.1 release announcement on the blog this morning... Or was I still dreaming?

it was in mb-users, I think

the reason why it's not yet on the ftp server could be a permission problem

actually, no. uploading picard to ftp.mb.org was a temporary solution

i'm not sure if i should upload it also there

Helixcommunity sucks.

yeah, but it has nice stats :)

wait a sec, i'll upload it

Thanks. :)

I wouldn't mind Helixcommunity if one wouldn't have to update that download ID with every new release.

csp: no it was just a joke

csp: i wouldn't bother with anything, except maybe making a note or something that on the printed cover of this particular CD the title was spelled wrong

csp: so people who own the exact same CD are not confused (they'll probably think that it's just a typo as well but this will just let them know they're not the only onse)

ones*

deadchip: sorry the joke didn't work. I'm leaving it corrected now. The collection (out since 1989) isn't popular anyway, so why bother

hmm everyone seems to be dead serious today or so

csp: yeah ok

luks: btw i've implemented levenshtein matching in our MB editing dialog

luks: http://futurepast.free.fr/bmpx-levenshtein-orde...

just for the case you're interested in that or so

in that screenshot it matched the titles using LD and some additional code of course

Are you using standard weights?

i don't know much about the specific LD calculation implementation i've used

i'd have to check heh

Differences in punctation and higher/lower case should probably have lower weights.

But what kind of matching algorithm does Picard currently use? I thought it was Levenshtein.

levenshtein on normalized strings

oh i didn't know you have it already in

Freso: So, would you be OK with testing 0.7.1?

but either way, i've tried to do various preprocessing to the strings before calculating the ld and it turned out leaving them like they are seems to be best

i'm not even normalizing them in any way (lowercasing or anything)

intgr: Sure. :)

intgr: But please prepend all messages directed to me with my nick so that my highlight goes off. :)

Freso: Ah, ok. :)

Freso: I suppose you can manage the version-bumping yourself?

intgr: Unmasking/-keywording or renaming the ebuild?

The former? Sure. The latter? Sure - but I'd prefer you to do it. :)

hi

Freso: cp musicbrainz-overlay/media-sound/picard/picard-0.7.0.ebuild musicbrainz-overlay/media-sound/picard/picard-0.7.1.ebuild; ebuild musicbrainz-overlay/media-sound/picard/picard-0.7.1.ebuild digest

Freso: wget https://helixcommunity.org/frs/download.php/220... -O /usr/portage/distfiles/picard-0.7.1.tar.gz

can someone provide help with picard version

Freso: And then emerge. :)

intgr u any good with Picard?

intgr: You haven't updated the overlay with digests and all?

intgr: It'll be so much easier for me if I just have to worry about checking out the latest overlay and unmasking and keywording as necessary. :)

Freso: Not yet, since the Picard dist is not up yet on ftp.musicbrainz.org, and I wouldn't like to break SRC_URI

Ah, never mind, it just appeared. :)

Freso: Hold on, I'll check in the new ebuild.

DeafRaiders: don't ask to ask, just ask :)

intgr: :)

ok i am trying to save Now 61 disc 2 but its not letting be i comes up with an error
