TypeError: Type str does not support buffer API when splitting a string

Question

Hi everyone, I have this code:

data = data.split('&') 

And I get the following error:

data = data.split ('&') TypeError: type str does not support API buffer

How to break my line?

Answer 1

data is a bytes object. You can use a different bytes value to separate it, you can use the bytes literal (starting with the b prefix) to create it:

 data.split(b'&')
