song = taglib.File("/path/to/my/file.mp3") throws NameError: name 'fspath' is not defined

[varun-singh-01]

I am trying to run basic example in linux environment:
I have installed development headers of pytaglib and also python-dev headers, but after running following lines I get and exception :
import taglib
song = taglib.File("/path/to/my/file.mp3")

Exception:
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "", line 1, in
File "src/taglib.pyx", line 72, in taglib.File.cinit
NameError: name 'fspath' is not defined

It turns out when I ran same code with python3 it works. But I was expecting it to work with python2.7
Is there a way where I can do this?

Which version are you using? AFAIK I newer added the fspath call which would fix #40. Maybe you accidentally checked out this fork?

I installed pytaglib from standard command for version 1.4.4

Thanks for reporting. Apparently I forgot to regenerate the shipped taglib.cpp before packing the release, such that an uncommited test version of the file is contained in the published file. :-( Will upload a fixed v1.4.5 ASAP!

Please try v1.4.5 just released to PyPI!

I am trying fresh , while installing the version 1.4.5 it is throwing an error in pip.log. I checked packages libtag1-dev and python-dev are already installed. after that I ran sudo pip install pytaglib
