Python - unhashable type error in urllib2
12,085
Solution 1
data
is suppossed to be a "a buffer in the standard application/x-www-form-urlencoded format.", not a dict.
Before you pass the data dict in do data = urllib.urlencode(data)
, so you get the correct format from your dict.
Solution 2
You can also use the following if you are using json.
json.dumps(data)
Remember: urlencode can encode a dict, but not a string. The output of json.dumps is a string.

I can't figure out what caused this error.
