TypeError: expected a character buffer object

Question

I am running into the following error while writing the value into a file. Can you please help me figure out what is the issue here and how to fix it?

row =         


        

Answer 1

I had the same error, in my code:

s.translate(table)

The s obj was string. The issue was s.translate was expecting a unicode string. So, the fix was to use:

unicode(s).translate(table)
