Encryption failed. Error: [can't concat str to bytes] #21

Please, I'm new in Python, and when I try to encrypt a file, the program shows me this message:

There was a problem with the execution of gpg. Encryption failed. Error: [can't concat str to bytes]

Can someone help me?

Are you able to post a full trace here? We will need to understand what line that error originated on to troubleshoot it.

would it be this?

It looks like this is coming from this block of code:

https://github.com/chrissimpkins/crypto/blob/6b95fa81b26312e46f02557dca0b5f5c898a76fd/lib/crypto/library/cryptor.py#L62-L81

I am guessing that this may be the input file path is coming in from the command line arguments as a byte string and we are trying to concatenate it to a Python string.

Seems to be a bug. I appreciate the report! This will require a bit more investigation on my end.
