I am getting a json array which contains bytes of an image. This json array in embedded in json object. When checking the type of elements in this json array it is showing class 'str'.

I want to save this bytes from the json array to distinct files. This is what i have done.

images = []
            images = data["Images"]
            del data["Images"]
            future = db.Document.insert(data)
            result = yield future

            if result:
                index = 1
                for image in images:
                    os.mkdir("/home/sandeep/Projects/PycharmProjects/Fortentia/src/Images/QID"+str(result))
                    f = open("/home/sandeep/Projects/PycharmProjects/Fortentia/src/Images/QID"+str(result)+"option"+str(index)+".jpg","wb")
                    f.write(image)
                    f.close()
                    index += 1
                self.write("successful")
            else:
                self.write("Unsuccessful")

I am using tornado with Motor for this.

The error I am getting is:

[E 160209 20:27:17 web:1524] Uncaught exception POST /question (192.168.0.103)

        f.write(image)
    TypeError: 'str' does not support the buffer interface

Thanks in advance.

  • @msuberri we tried that also but then it is showing error "TypeError: string argument without an encoding". When we specify UTF-8 as encoding then also an error is generated. Thing is our client is sending array of bye but what data type here in python we are seeing is str why so? – Gaurav Jindal Feb 10 '16 at 15:00
