TypeError: expected str, bytes or os.PathLike object, not list

When using the default (mostly) khard will exit with a traceback on any action:

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/usr/bin/khard", line 11, in <module>
    load_entry_point('khard==0.14.0', 'console_scripts', 'khard')()
  File "/usr/lib/python3/dist-packages/khard/khard.py", line 1752, in main
    args = parse_args(argv)
  File "/usr/lib/python3/dist-packages/khard/khard.py", line 1703, in parse_args
    config = Config(args.config)
  File "/usr/lib/python3/dist-packages/khard/config.py", line 75, in __init__
    self.editor = find_executable(os.path.expanduser(self.editor))
  File "/usr/lib/python3.7/posixpath.py", line 235, in expanduser
    path = os.fspath(path)
TypeError: expected str, bytes or os.PathLike object, not list

After checking the traceback it was clear that the editor config is the culprit. The entry in ~/.config/khard/khard.conf is editor = vim, -i, NONE , and this gets converted to ['vim', '-i', 'NONE'] in config.py:74, but expanduser does not like the list.

When using just vim or leaving out the entry everything works as expected.

My config:

[addressbooks]
[[default]]
path = ~/.cache/contacts/contacts/

[general]
debug = yes
default_action = list
# These are either strings or comma seperated lists
editor = vim, -i, NONE
merge_editor = vimdiff

[contact table]
# display names by first or last name: first_name / last_name / formatted_name
display = first_name
# group by address book: yes / no
group_by_addressbook = no
# reverse table ordering: yes / no
reverse = no
# append nicknames to name column: yes / no
show_nicknames = no
# show uid table column: yes / no
show_uids = yes
# sort by first or last name: first_name / last_name / formatted_name
sort = last_name
# localize dates: yes / no
localize_dates = yes
# set a comma separated list of preferred phone number types in descending priority
# or nothing for non-filtered alphabetical order
preferred_phone_number_type = pref, cell, home
# set a comma separated list of preferred email address types in descending priority
# or nothing for non-filtered alphabetical order
preferred_email_address_type = pref, work, home

[vcard]
# extend contacts with your own private objects
# these objects are stored with a leading "X-" before the object name in the vcard files
# every object label may only contain letters, digits and the - character
# example:
#   private_objects = Jabber, Skype, Twitter
private_objects = Jabber, Skype, Twitter
# preferred vcard version: 3.0 / 4.0
preferred_version = 3.0
# Look into source vcf files to speed up search queries: yes / no
search_in_source_files = no
# skip unparsable vcard files: yes / no
skip_unparsable = no

Khard supports editor command line args since version 0.15.0. Please either upgrade or remove the args after the editor command in your config file.

Oh, the config file says version strictly greater v0.14... And I had khard installed from ubuntu 19.10, which had v0.14. As pip3 show khard showed me the same version I assumed it's the latest one and did not check any further. But now I have 0.15 installed, everything works fine.

So: sorry, completely my own faul. Thanks!
