TypeError: send() argument 1 must be string or read-only buffer, not int

[Manish Gupta (BBS)]

Hello

  invoking something like following -

       sock.send(100)

  generates the following error -

       TypeError: send() argument 1 must be string or read-only buffer, 
not int


  how can I work around this? I wish to write
  msg-length on a stream socket.

  thanks in advance.
