python 3.3 socket TypeError
12,237
You need to encode the string in data
to a buffer using the appropriate codepage. For example:
data = input('> ')
if not data:
break
tcpCliSock.send(data.encode('utf-8'))
The server code needs to change too:
response = '[%s] %s' % (ctime(), data.decode('utf-8'))
tcpCliSock.send(response.encode('utf-8'))

I am trying to make a timestamp server and client. The client code is:
from socket import * HOST = '127.0.0.1' # or 'localhost' PORT = 21567 BUFSIZ = 1024 ADDR = (HOST, PORT) tcpCliSock = socket(AF_INET, SOCK_STREAM) tcpCliSock.connect(ADDR) while True: data = input('> ') if not data: break tcpCliSock.send(data) data = tcpCliSock.recv(BUFSIZ) if not data: break print(data.decode('utf-8')) tcpCliSock.close()
and the server code is:
from socket import * from time import ctime HOST = '' PORT = 21567 BUFSIZ = 1024 ADDR = (HOST, PORT) tcpSerSock = socket(AF_INET, SOCK_STREAM) tcpSerSock.bind(ADDR) tcpSerSock.listen(5) while True: print('waiting for connection...') tcpCliSock, addr = tcpSerSock.accept() print('connected from: ', addr) while True: data = tcpCliSock.recv(BUFSIZ) if not data: break tcpCliSock.send('[%s] %s' % (bytes(ctime(), 'utf-8'), data)) tcpCliSock.close() tcpSerSock.close()
The server is working fine but when I send any data to the server from the client I get the following error:
File "tsTclnt.py", line 20, in <module> tcpCliSock.send(data) TypeError: 'str' does not support the buffer interface
