Can't have a unicode filename in python bindings

[alastair]

e.g.

audio = essentia.standard.MonoLoader(filename=fname)()

causes

/home/alastair/code/dunya/env/local/lib/python2.7/site-packages/essentia/standard.py in configure(self, **kwargs)
     56                 kwargs[name] = convertedVal
     57 
---> 58             self.__configure__(**kwargs)
     59 
     60         def compute(self, *args):

RuntimeError: Error while parsing parameters: String::fromPythonCopy: input not a PyString: <type 'unicode'>

this should now be fixed in master, thanks for the report! If you now pass a unicode string, it will convert it to UTF-8 automatically. If you want another encoding, it's better to do it from python directly, eg:

audio = essentia.standard.MonoLoader(filename=fname.encode('latin-1')()
