Accept `bytearray` objects It looks like Python has one more type that conforms to the buffer protocol! And it's produced by `pymad`. Closes #31 and pertains to beetbox/beets#2216. — committed to beetbox/pyacoustid by sampsyo 8 years ago

FWIW, I just ran into this issue myself.

When I modify this function:

def feed(self, data):
        """Send raw PCM audio data to the fingerprinter. Data may be
        either a bytestring or a buffer object.
        """
        if isinstance(data, BUFFER_TYPES):
            data = str(data)
        elif not isinstance(data, bytes):
            raise TypeError('data must be bytes, buffer, or memoryview')
        _check(_libchromaprint.chromaprint_feed(
            self._ctx, data, len(data) // 2
        ))

to this:

def feed(self, data):
        """Send raw PCM audio data to the fingerprinter. Data may be
        either a bytestring or a buffer object.
        """
        if isinstance(data, BUFFER_TYPES):
            data = str(data)
        elif isinstance(data, bytearray):
            data = bytes(data)
        elif not isinstance(data, bytes):
            raise TypeError('data must be bytes, buffer, or memoryview')
        _check(_libchromaprint.chromaprint_feed(
            self._ctx, data, len(data) // 2
        )

It runs without issue. That function is located in this location https://github.com/beetbox/pyacoustid/blob/master/chromaprint.py and on my box is located at path: /usr/local/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/chromaprint.py

This is just a heads up to anyone else that googles the error code and finds a github issue, which I find is always a bad sign. It’s a hack and a workaround but I’m not the project maintainer, I just want it to work, I don’t mind if it takes longer (because I just copied a crap ton of bytes unnecessarily, I’m assuming.)
