When I am writing bytes to a file using this:

string1 = "abc123test"
f = open(filewrite, "wb")
f.write(string1)
f.close()

it gives me this error:

Error:    f.write(string1)
TypeError: a bytes-like object is required, not 'str'

can someone help me on this?

"abc123test" is a unicode string, b"abc123test" would be bytes.
So either change the type of your variable, or change the mode you open the file in.

I did this:

string1 = 'b"abc123test"'
f = open('file.txt', "wb")
f.write(string1)
f.close()

and it gave the same error

string1 = b"abc123test"

thanks!
