Error: POST data should be bytes or an iterable of bytes about pywinrm

Hey Trevor,

I am on client site this week but will try to dig in on this next week
before the holiday.

Can you post the full source of the script either in the github issue or
as a link to a gist? That would be super helpful in hitting the ground
running on it

(side item: you should change your password now that it's public!). The
script you post can have the address, user, password obfuscated just fine.

Thanks
Patrick

I'm using cPython 3.5 on Mac OS X. When I try to run a PowerShell
script remotely, I get an exception:

Any thoughts on what could cause this? The repro is in the screenshot.

Patrick,

Thanks for your help. The code here is pretty straightforward. 😄

import winrm;
MySession = winrm.Session('trevorssd.westus.cloudapp.azure.com', auth=('Trevor', 'P@ssw0rd!!'));
MySession.run_ps('Get-Process');

I'm happy to jump on a call with you if you'd like to help take a look at this. I'm pretty accessible. :)

Hi,
I've met this issue with Python 3.4.3 on Centos and Amazon Linux box too.

Thanks,

This seems to still be an issue with Python3, just submitted my own issue about this before seeing this one.
