album.ini metadata has trouble with Python 2 when filenames have accented characters about myphotoshare HOT 4 CLOSED

isn't it a problem with album.ini encoding, != utf8?

Anyway, is there any reason to mantain python2 compatibility?

No, the scanner has different behavior, on the same files, depending on which version of Python is used.

Well, at least on my computer, OpenCV cv2 module is not yet available for Python 3. In a few months, it should be fine to forget about Python 2.

The cause of the problem was that os.listdir() returns a unicode object while ConfigParser returns str even if the file contains UTF-8 content.

Example:
The file name is: Bas-relief du caducée d'Hermès.jpg
Name of file as obtained from os.listdir(): u"Bas-relief du caduc\xe9e d'Herm\xe8s.jpg"
Name of section in ConfigParser: "Bas-relief du caduc\xc3\xa9e d'Herm\xc3\xa8s.jpg"

Correction is to convert the filename to str before looking for section names.
