filePath encoding

[nakarin0528]

I can't read EDF files when the file path contains Japanese characters.

Can you please modify it so that I can set the encoding?

I want to set utf-8 as encoding.

This should actually work, see #99 and related issues. It's a bit more tricky unfortunately, see at #100 for the details. The test case actually covers some chinese and korean letters, however I have to admit not japanese so far, but it should be treated the same.

Line 23 in bd803bd

cls.test_unicode = os.path.join(data_dir, "tmp_utf8-中文źąşㆆ운ʷᨄⅡəПр🤖.edf")

which platform are you using? can you provide a sample file name?

Probably you can fix this by setting your system locale to utf-8. This is most likely a OS-related bug, which happens when Python (which is UTF8) is interacting with the C-library (which depends on your systems locale)
