Setting Cookie using pycurl, getting TypeError('invalid arguments to setopt',)

Question

I am new to python I am trying to send session_id as a cookie using pycurl lib in python. Below is the code line.

reportcurl.setopt(pycurl.COOKIE, session_id) 

Where "session_id" is a string. Not sure what I am doing wrong but it is working on Python version 2.7.2 but I am unable to make it run on Python 2.7.3.

Any idea what could be invalid argument in setopt fuction?

Appeciate for any help. Thanks

Answer 1

Data that an application passes to PycURL, such as via setopt calls, must normally be byte strings appropriately encoded.

Make sure the session_id is in the correct format.

Answer 2

通过编码使其工作

session_id.encode("utf-8")
