[0.8.0Alpha1] Does not start on Windows

[shypike]

Can you replace ...\Python27\lib\mimetypes.py with this file?
https://www.dropbox.com/s/zea2aql0032sx ... es.py?dl=0
(If you don't have a Dropbox account, just cancel the login box.)

With a bit of luck this will fix the problem, at least for the test you did for Sander.
It will not fix Alpha1 or Alpha2, for that I must create a new release.

Next step: install the current python version (= 2.7.10, see https://www.python.org/downloads/release/python-2710/), and try the two commands again, and post back the result.

Here's the result of the first set of commands.

Code: Select all

Type "help", "copyright", "credits" or "license" for more information.

pes', '/usr/local/etc/mime.types']
>>> mimetypes.suffix_map['.tgz']

'gzip'
>>> mimetypes.types_map['.tgz']
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "<stdin>", line 1, in <module>
KeyError: '.tgz'
>>>

And the second set of commands.

I downloaded mimetypes.py from the link above and put it in the indicated directory. These are the results from the test.

OK, it no longer crashes.
The last error ("KeyError: '.tgz'") is just an effect of Sander's test.

In SABnzbd's binaries, can you replace the file ...\lib\sabnzbd.zip with this one:
https://www.dropbox.com/s/1swsghdiew5bb ... d.zip?dl=0

That fixed it. Works like a charm now.

Great, I'll build a new Windows binary.

BTW: the cause is probably some (minor) corruption of your registry.
At least that is the claim in the Python bug report.
One of the MIME keys contains a NUL character in the name, which makes it an illegal name.

SP, can you give a pointer to that Python bug report?

Because I thought it was related to Unicode-values in the Windows registry.

My computer might very well be due a re-install in the near future. Then again, Windows 10 is right around the corner and I might upgrade to that.
Thanks for all your hard work, guys! I appreciate it.

https://bugs.python.org/issue22028
There might still be cases of Unicode values, but in this case it was NUL characters.

[shypike]

Issue 22028 is the only one missing from 2.7.8.10 (ActiveState Python).
So Unicode should be covered.

Do you understand why it happens in SAB 0.8.0 alpha 2, and not SAB 0.7.20? Different python version? Different calling of "mimetypes"?

Is it related to https://forums.sabnzbd.org/viewtopic.php?f=11&t=18976 ?

[sander]

Thanks for all your hard work, guys! I appreciate it.

Thank you for the great cooperation!

Starting with Alpha1, we're using Python 2.7 instead of 2.5 for Windows builds.
