'text' argument was added in Python 3.7 as an alias of 'universal_newlines'. Using 'universal_newlines' works on Python 3.5/3.6 and should be forward-compatible.
This removes most of the legacy upstream config madness by not using
weird config files spread all over the place.
This isn't the solution to other config reading fragility issues, but
it does move the whole config back to the central airtime.conf file.
This gets the mime type using file-magic in a most minimal way. Since the python bindings have been available as a distro package for quite a while it is written in a way so it should also run on pre pypi installs of file-magic. This means not being able to use nice things like magic.detect_from_filename due to the fact that they where added rather recently (with recently being 2 years ago).
As the mime type is only used to check for wav files that mutagen can't handle it only reads the mime type and ignores the charset and other attributes that magic can find.
Due to the fact that file-magic is not properly unicode safe I'm checking the file based on it's first 2048 bytes as per <http://stackoverflow.com/questions/34836792/python-magic-cant-identify-unicode-filename#comment57418632_34838355>. This is not an issue since wav files need to start with a wav header by definition anyway.
I tested this sucessfully on both CentOS and Debian with files containing Unicode in their names.
This is the results of sed -i -e 's|/etc/airtime-saas/|/etc/airtime/|' `grep -irl 'airtime-saas' airtime_mvc/ python_apps/` :P
It might need more testing, the airtime-saas part never really made sense, zf1 has environments for that, ie you would create a saas env based on production for instance.
I beleive legacy upstream was using this to share configuration between customers (ie. analyser runs only once and writes to a shared S3 bucket). I assume they mount the airtime-saas folder onto individual customers instances with a global config. Like I said, I don't feel that this makes sense since all it does is make hacking at the configs in airtime-saas a bit easier. A serious SaaS operation should be using something like puppet or ansible to achieve this.
