How do I write this in a way that python does not interpret the data as unicode?

Question

CODE:

class EchoClient(protocol.Protocol):
    def connectionMade(self):
        self.transport.write("Hello World!")

Error:

##raise TypeError("Data must not be unicode") builtins.TypeError: Data must not be unicode ##

How do i write the code to be utf-8?

Answer 1

Assuming you are using Python3, try:

"Hello World!".encode('utf-8')

If your data is in a str variable, try:

# s = "Hello World!"
s.encode('utf-8')

Answer 2

It's seems like you're building a server, try using b'Hello World' to convert to bytes.
