Can't concat bytes to str
This is proving to be a rough transition over to python. What is going on here?:
f = open( 'myfile', 'a+' )
f.write('test string' + 'n')
key = "pass:hello"
plaintext = subprocess.check_output(['openssl', 'aes-128-cbc', '-d', '-in', test, '-base64', '-pass', key])
print (plaintext)
f.write (plaintext + 'n')
f.close()
The output file looks like:
test string
and then I get this error:
b'decryption successfuln'
Traceback (most recent call last):
File ".../Project.py", line 36, in <module>
f.write (plaintext + 'n')
TypeError: can't concat bytes to str
python

Decode your plaintext or encode the newline.

subprocess.check_output() returns a bytestring.
In Python 3, there's no implicit conversion between unicode (str) objects and bytes objects. If you know the encoding of the output, you can .decode() it to get a string, or you can turn the n you want to add to bytes with "n".encode('ascii')

so you need to convert 'n' to bytes as well:
f.write (plaintext + b'n')
hope this helps

so you need to convert 'n' to bytes as well:
f.write (plaintext + b'n')
hope this helps
