TypeError: a bytes-like object is required, not 'str'

Hello @EightRice -

This is likely because the code repository here uses Python2, however you'll need to utilize Python3 for this. If you take a look at the related tutorial below, there is a section titled "Channel Join" which should sum up the issue for you and provide a fix.

The fix itself looks something like what is below. Notice the bytes data type as well as the decode message.

ircsock.send(bytes("JOIN "+ chan +"n", "UTF-8")) ircmsg = "" while ircmsg.find("End of /NAMES list.") == -1: ircmsg = ircsock.recv(2048).decode("UTF-8") ircmsg = ircmsg.strip('nr') print(ircmsg)

Hope this helps!
