TypeError: '<' not supported between instances of 'int' and 'str'

[lozbrown]

I constantly get the following error in 2.5 and not sure how to resolve

Loading config: /home/loz/.tvnamer.json

@lozbrown I've switched it to python 2 version and it works fine now.

Still hitting this problem with python 2

$ python --version
Python 2.7.17

TypeError: '<' not supported between instances of 'int' and 'str'

I think the error comes from the fact that i have some replacements in the config file that match to series ids:

"input_series_replacements": {
        "Marvel*s Agents of S*": 263365,
        "See": 361565,
        "Star Trek - Picard\\s*\\(\\d+\\)?": 364093,
        "Will & Grace": 71814,
        "The Walking Dead": 153021,
        "Devs\\s*\\(\\d+\\)?": 364149
    },

and in some occasions it tries to compare one of those ids (numeric) with a series name extracted from the filename (string).

Seeing this again after upgrading to Latest Ubuntu which of course pushes me to python 3

Interesting, not sure why it's getting into that state instead of skipping over files it can't fully parse, shall try and look into this soon

[alebianco]

I think it happens when one of the file matched is of a series present in the input_series_replacements configuration, and another file is simply matched by name on tvdb

[dbr]

Yep that's exactly it - seriesname is usually a str, but the replacements can make it an series-ID integer.. and, importantly, sorted([1, "two", 3]) works in Python 2 but is now an error in 3

[alebianco]

glad it was confirmed 👍 also surprised it was closed 👎 since the project in the readme states

It supports Python 2.7 and 3.5 onwards

it would be nice to address the problem 🙏

[alebianco]

nevermind, I can't read obviously :D

thanks for fixing it 🔝

[dbr]

Ah yeh that wasn't clear - it's fixed in the latest development code, which will become tvnamer 4.0 (which will support Python 3.x only) which I hope to release sometime in the next couple of weeks

I might do a release of the current tvnamer 3.x release branch with this change backported sometime this week

[lozbrown]

Any chance of backporting this to 3.x, I'm hitting this frequently.

[alebianco]

@lozbrown while waiting for a backport, I just patched the files locally following the changes in the commit. When (and if) I get an update and my local changes are overwritten, I hope this fix will be included already ...

[dbr]

Released tvnamer 3.0.2 with this fix backported!
