urequests with post - buffer protocol required

[ryanjennings]

I am trying to do a post with urequests. I am running into a TypeError.

Code: Select all

>>> r = urequests.post("http://www.xxxxxxxxxxxxxx.com:8086", data = {'basement' : 60.2, 'outside': 80.4})
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "<stdin>", line 1, in <module>
  File "urequests.py", line 104, in post
  File "urequests.py", line 74, in request
TypeError: object with buffer protocol required

please use the code blocks - platforma
Any suggestions on what I might try?

Thanks for the help,
Ryan

Without explicitly knowing the exact interface, i do recall that the method does expect a string or bytearray as the type of data argument. You are passing a dictionary directly, which throws that TypeError.

For conversion into an string you can use the JSON module or craft the simple JSON string by hand and in-place.
