Python Socket Send Buffer Vs. Str

Question

I am trying to get a basic server (copied from Beginning Python) to send a str.

The error:

c.send( \"XXX\" )
TypeError: must be bytes or buffer, not          


        

Answer 1

To add to Jacek Konieczny's answer: You can also use str.encode() to get bytes from a string. If you have the string in a variable instead of a literal, you can call encode and it will return an equivalent series of bytes.
