Just to add on top,
os.path.listdir and os.path.join in python 2 are context-specific, so if you input a Unicode string it will output a Unicode string, if you input a regular string it will output a regular string.
Now the culprit is on c4d.documents.MergeDocument because normally this method accepts a C++ Filename object (which is the Classic API that under the hood uses the new MaxonAPI maxon::Url). Unfortunately, the Python parser is not able to convert from a Python Unicode string to a C++ Filename, but only from a Python ASCII string to a filename.

So indeed casting from Unicode string to ASCII is the solution.

Thanks Maxime, understood on the rules and regulations, sorry about that.

I understand the group concept now, read up more on it and I have a better idea on how to approach the goal I'm trying to get to.

I have another error I'm getting but I'll try to do another post and see if I tag it right!

Thanks for your time!

Cheers!

Hey Richard!

Thank you for the response, I have VS2017 version 15.9 all set up now, I think..... haha. I can see all the solutions in VS as well, but I ran the powersheel commands without having 2017 installed and I could see them in 2019, do I need to re-run the command or is it on the compile side that 2017 is the right version?

I've been reading through all that documentation and I have seen the resources on Git as well so thanks for helping me understand I'm looking in the right spots haha! Thanks for the help so far, I'm sure I'll be back soon with more questions haha!

Cheers!
