I am attempting to encode a folium choropleth as StringIO. I am basing my answer of a related query. I have checked the answers here and here.



ERROR



AttributeError: 'bytes' object has no attribute 'encode'


CODE



views.py



def get_choropleth(self, request):
# make choropleth ('m')
html_string = m.get_root().render()
f = StringIO(html_string)
choropleth = base64.b64decode(f.read())
choropleth = choropleth.encode('utf8') # causing error
return {'choropleth':choropleth}

    simply try to replace choropleth.encode('utf8') by choropleth.decode('utf8') and please refer to the documentation

    well b'xe0'.decode('latin') will output 'à'. So, maybe your string isn't really utf8 compliant.

After some trial-and-error, the following worked for me:



SOLUTION



def get_choropleth(self, request):
# make choropleth ('m')
html_string = m.get_root().render()
encoded_bytes = html_string.encode('utf-8')
encoded_bytes = base64.b64encode(encoded_bytes)
encoded_bytes = encoded_bytes.decode('utf8') # decode the b64 bytes for Unicode
choropleth = encoded_bytes
return {'choropleth':choropleth}
