I have been moving some of my scripts from python 2.7 to python3 (3.6.8). While fixing one of my scripts, i am getting the error mentioned in subject line.
the part of the script where i am getting error at is as below.
info = conn.execute_command("Info")
lines = info.split('\n')
When i run this script i get an error copied below.
lines = info.split('\n')
TypeError: a bytes-like object is required, not 'str'
I am trying to get lines split at '\n' in the response for info. However i am not sure what is the syntax here, to get rid of this error. Any suggestions...!!!
CodePudding user response:
It looks like info
is a bytesstring, so what you should do is:
lines = info.split(b"\n")
But do note that lines would be a list of bytesstrings.
You could also do the following:
info = conn.execute_command("Info")
lines = info.decode("utf-8").split('\n')
then all the elements in lines
will be normal strings.
