Python3 write gzip file - memoryview: a bytes-like object is required, not 'str'

Question

I want to write a file. Based on the name of the file this may or may not be compressed with the gzip module. Here is my code:

import gzip
filen         


        

Answer 1

you can convert it to bytes like this.

import gzip 
with gzip.open(filename, 'wb') as fd:
   fd.write('blah blah blah'.encode('utf-8'))
