python3 unicode error,python3 pySerial TypeError：不支持Unicode字符串，请编码为字节：

In Python 3 I imported the pySerial library so I could communicate with my Arduino Uno by serial commands.

It worked very well in Python 2.7 but in Python 3 I keep running into a error it says this

TypeError: unicode strings are not supported, please encode to bytes: 'allon'

In Python 2.7 the only thing I did differently is use raw_input but I don't know what is happening in Python 3. Here is my code

import serial, time

import tkinter

import os

def serialcmdw():

os.system('clear')

serialcmd = input("serial command: ")

ser.write (serialcmd)

serialcmdw()

ser = serial.Serial()

os.system('clear')

ser.port = "/dev/cu.usbmodem4321"

ser.baudrate = 9600

ser.open()

time.sleep(1)

serialcmdw()

解决方案

Encode your data which you are writing to serial,in your case "serialcmd" to bytes.try the following :

ser.write(serialcmd.encode())
