So i am trying to make a script that will auto upload images to facebook for me using RoboBrowser to navigate the mbasic.facebook.com website and i am getting a strange error when submitting the image form:
Traceback (most recent call last):

return codecs.charmap_decode(input,self.errors,decoding_table)[0]
UnicodeDecodeError: 'charmap' codec can't decode byte 0x8f in position 57: character maps to <undefined>
Why would this be? I am guessing it is something to do with how i am handling submitting the image file to the form but i'm stumped as to why. My relevant code is below:
form = browser.get_forms()
form = form[0]
image = os.path.dirname(os.path.realpath(__file__)) + r"\test.png"
form['file1'] = image
browser.submit_form(form, submit=form["add_photo_done"])
print(browser.parsed())
Edit:
I do not believe this is a repost of UnicodeDecodeError: 'charmap' codec can't decode byte X in position Y: character maps to as i am not reading any files in the code, the error seems to come while submitting the form. In any case I had seen this post already and i could not work out how to use it to solve my issue.
