Python and a new way to add data to urllib requests

Question

I get an error message

AttributeError: 'Request' object has no attribute 'add_data'

from a library that uses urllib.request

In Python 2.7-3.3, urllib.request contains a method add_data().

But in Python 3.4, the documentation states that

Changed in version 3.4: The request methods add_data, has_data, get_data, get_type, get_host, get_selector, get_origin_req_host and is_unverifiable, which were deprecated since the removal of 3.3.

How to add data to urllib requests in Python3.4?

Answer 1

Just assign an attribute datato urllib.request.

 request.data = "Some data"
