f.write (data) TypeError: a bytes-like object is required, not 'str'-CodePudding

if i change data = data payload to data = data str(payload)

I will then have this error
f.write (data) TypeError: a bytes-like object is required, not 'str'

So what can I do to change the code to let the script run

CodePudding user response：

You need to open file in appriopiate mode, default is text mode where str should be provided for writing, whilst b denotes binary mode where bytes is expected, consider following simple examples:

with open("file1.txt","w") as f:
    f.write("HELLO")
with open("file2.txt","wb") as f:
    f.write(b"\x48\x45\x4C\x4C\x4F")

Try to convert it first. data = data.encode()
