In my understanding, writing to a file would requires that everything be
written byte by byte. So writing objects of type 'bytes' to socket makes
sense. But, how could python write to file using unicode(type 'str')? Does
python encode 'str'(Unicode) automatically before writing things to file?
If it's true, then why can't it do that automatic encoding when I trying
to write a 'str' to socket ?
If you open a file for writing in text mode, using 'w', it expects a string.
If you open it in binary mode, using 'wb', it expects bytes.
