[Python-markdown-discuss] TypeError

[Andreas K. <an...@ka...>]

Hi,
I am probably doing something fundamentally wrong. I get a 'TypeError:
write() argument must be str, not bytes' message when I use
the markdown.markdownFromFile method when with an output file which I have
already opened for writing:

        fd_html = open(htmlPath, 'w', encoding='utf-8')

        markdown.markdownFromFile(input=mdPath,
                                  output=fd_html,
                                  encoding='utf-8',
                                  extensions=['markdown.extensions.tables',
'markdown.extensions.def_list',

'markdown.extensions.footnotes', 'markdown.extensions.fenced_code',

'markdown.extensions.codehilite', 'markdown.extensions.attr_list']
                                  )
        fd_html.close()

  If I let markdown.markdownFromFile open it instead it works fine:

        markdown.markdownFromFile(input=mdPath,
                                  output=htmlPath  ,
                                  encoding='utf-8',
                                  extensions=['markdown.extensions.tables',
'markdown.extensions.def_list',

'markdown.extensions.footnotes', 'markdown.extensions.fenced_code',

'markdown.extensions.codehilite', 'markdown.extensions.attr_list']
                                  )

The reason I want to open it myself if that i need to insert some more html
before the stuff generated by markdown.markdownFromFile.

What am I doing wrong?
