Running into this same issue.

I tried it with 'medium', 'tiny' and blank inside the Whisper(), but all threw the same error.
same problem.
removing the .encode('utf-8') in whispercpp.pyx should fix the type issue.
def __init__(self, model=DEFAULT_MODEL, pb=None):
model_fullname = f'ggml-{model}.bin'.encode('utf8')
where is that file?
Bump. pip show whispercpp is of no use since the library only shows a .so dynamic library instead of the actual .pyx file.
I cloned the repo and made the fix then just used pip to install it with my changes or you can check the pull requests for all the changes i made.
