Problem loading wavesurfer 1.0.5 files using pywavesurfer

[amrita112]

When I try to load a wavesurfer 1.0.5 file with pywavesurfer, python seems to have a problem converting the version number into a string. Error isn't there with wavesurfer 0.97

Here is a screenshot of the error:

I'm using python 3.7 in a jupyter notebook.

Hi @amrita112, I think that was fixed in the latest release, not sure if it is on pypi but definitely on Master. Try:

pip install pywavesurfer —update

If that doesn’t work you will need to uninstall, download the code and install locally.

Let me know if that helped.

Hi,
I have something similar.
I get the following message on pip installed pywavesurfer:
You are reading a WaveSurfer file version this module was not tested with: file version 1.0.1, latest version tested: 0.97
The master branch has the same tested version number:

PyWaveSurfer/pywavesurfer/ws.py

Line 10 in 9ad5e19

_latest_version = 0.97

Should I just ignore this warning?
Thanks,
Marton

We've been ignoring this message for years:

RuntimeWarning: You are reading a WaveSurfer file version this module was not tested with: file version 1.0.2, latest version tested: 0.982

Does anyone know of any situations where this might be a bad idea?
