TagPy 0.93

I’ve pushed out yet another version of TagPy. This time it is to mop up after some rather unhelpful default in TagLib. That is, unless you have the magic lines:

import tagpy.id3v2 as id3v2
id3v2.FrameFactory.instance().setDefaultTextEncoding(tagpy.StringType.UTF8)

in your code, the generic API tag.artist = u"*some funky unicode string*" will write Unicode tags as Latin1 if the previous ID3v2 tag was also Latin1-encoded. This will of course destroy your carefully crafted unicode string. Therefore I urge all users to include these lines in their code, in order to avoid such trouble.

All that’s new in 0.93 is the wrappers that make this call possible.

I tought about making the above code the default for TagPy, but I wasn’t sure whether that was the right thing to do, seeing as how this default would deviate from TagLib.
