Thank you. I should have mentioned that I am looking for a Python GUI framework. I neglected to mention that since this is a Python group. Sorry. -- https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list

Re: Post request and encoding

I see, my mistake was (tacitly) assuming that encode() could work in place. Now I see that it should work in a previous line as you wrote. Thank you! /H. On 2020-11-02 18:32, Karsten Hilbert wrote: On Mon, Nov 02, 2020 at 06:21:15PM +0100, Hernán De Angelis wrote: For the record: Just repl

Re: Post request and encoding

Just reply to myself and whoever might find this useful. encode() must be done within the request call: header = {'Content-type':'application/xml', 'charset':'UTF-8'} response = requests.post(server, data=request.encode('utf-8'), headers=header) not in a previous separate line as I did. Now
