[Owfs-developers] Write data with Python3 and pyownet

[Mick S. <mi...@su...>]

I had a bit of trouble with this and thought it worth sharing the solution.

With Python2 and pyownet I could use

     owp.write('/settings/timeout/directory', 60)

but with Python3 that throws an error, TypeError: 'data' argument must 
be binary.  I can use

     owp.write('/settings/timeout/directory', b'60')

but if I want to use a variable for the data the format which works is -

     x = 60
     owp.write('/settings/timeout/directory', bytes(str.encode(str(x))))

There may be other ways to do it but that works for me.
