Python string argument without an encoding
You are passing in a string object to a bytearray()
:
bytearray(content[current_pos:(final_pos)])
You'll need to supply an encoding argument (second argument) so that it can be encoded to bytes.
For example, you could encode it to UTF-8:
bytearray(content[current_pos:(final_pos)], 'utf8')
From the bytearray()
documentation:
The optional source parameter can be used to initialize the array in a few different ways:
- If it is a string, you must also give the encoding (and optionally, errors) parameters;
bytearray()
then converts the string to bytes usingstr.encode()
.
