TypeError('text argument must not be bytes') sending message

[mmm286]

Hi!
I'm tryng to construct websocket client and when I use:
ws.send_text("<open xmlns=\"urn:ietf:params:xml:ns:xmpp-framing\" version=\"1.0\" xml:lang=\"en\" to=\"wallapop.com\"/>")
It says me:

File "/home/pi/.local/lib/python2.7/site-packages/lomond/websocket.py", line 517, in send_text
   raise TypeError('text argument must not be bytes')
TypeError: text argument must not be bytes

could you help me please? Thanks

I'm guessing your on Python2.7

send_text takes a unicode string, so try ws.send_text(u"<open...") or use ws.send_binary

Thanks, with send_test I have other error:

Opening Websocket connection to the server ...
Traceback (most recent call last):

ws.send_text(u"<open...")

Please note the u preceding the string, which makes a string unicode, and not bytes.
