sending a message by socket in python

Question

I'm working on Python Socket programming and I have a problem with the send() function. I'm following this: Python socket network programming

# send a thank you message to the client. 
c.send('Thank you for connecting')
# Close the connection with the client
c.close()

but I get this error:

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "*.py", line 27, in <module>
    c.send('Thank you for connecting')
TypeError: a bytes-like object is required, not 'str'

are you on python 3?

python 3 send takes a bytes object.

c.send(b'Thank you for connecting')
