Firstly, UTF-8 is not meant to encode arbitrary binary data. But I
guess you could have a Unicode string in which the character index
represents a byte number. (But it's ugly!)
So if you can, you could make sure to send the file as just bytes,
or if it must be a string, base64 encoded. If this is not possible
you can try the code below to obtain the bytes, not a very fast
solution, but it should work (Python 3):
MAP = {}
for i in range(256):
MAP[tmp] = eval("'\\u%04i'" % i)

I don't know what you're trying to do here.
1. 'tmp' is the same for every iteration of the 'for' loop.
2. A Unicode escape sequence expects 4 hexadecimal digits; the 'i'
format gives a decimal number.
3. Using 'eval' to make a string this way is the long (and wrong) way
to do it; chr(i) would have the same effect.
4. The result of the eval is a string, but you're performing a join
with a bytestring, hence the exception.
