Try putting a 'b' before the constant string that you want to send: >>> type(b'123') <class 'bytes'> or use something like this to convert non constant strings (with only ASCII characters) into bytes: >>> s = "A non-constant string : %d " % n >>> s 'A non-constant string : 12 ' >>> type(s) <class 'str'> >>> b = bytes ( ord(c) for c in s ) >>> b b'A non-constant string : 12 ' You could also use struct.pack , that in python 3.x returns bytes and not strings. In this case you need to specify the size of the string (extra bytes are zero-filled): import struct >>> struct.pack( "30s", "A non-constant string : %d " % n ) b'A non-constant string : 12 \x00\x00\x00' Ciao ----- FB -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
