tmuxp: tmux freeze fails

Hi,

I just installed tmuxp using pip3 install tmuxp. It believed it installed fine because if I type just tmuxp, it shows the help.

I have a tmux session named main. But when I typed tmuxp freeze main, I got this backtrace:

> tmuxp freeze main
Traceback (most recent call last):

This is live in 1.3.0

I am going to consider loosening the 2.6 requirement. It’s been almost 4 years since that issue.

Last 2.6 release was 2.6.9 in October 29, 2013. Support ended then.

Prior to Python 2.7.3, this module did not support Unicode input.

Yes, I was reading shlex documentation, but don’t know what

assert window.show_window_options()['main-pane-height'] == 40

has to do with Unicode support.

I’m willing to weigh dropping 2.6 support if you can’t find an approach.

Thanks for the consideration. I wouldn’t rely on my ability to find a different approach as I am not a serious Python coder. I can even keep on using my forked version with the fix.

Oh well, looks like things are failing. I’ll get some time at later to understand how the shlex.split impacted the tests.
