Python - Getting output of socket

Question

I am trying to get the output after the lolimessage was sent but i get no output

try:
    xmr = ''
    data = s.recv(1024)
    d = data.decode("UTF-8")
    xmr += d
    if "loli" in xmr:
        s.send(lolimessage + enter)
        print("Loli Sent")
    else:
        print("loli NOT sent")
except:
    s.close()
try:
    xmr = ''
    data = s.recv(1024)
    d = data.decode("UTF-8")
    xmr += d
    print(xmr)
except:
    print("fail to print")
    s.close()

The loli part works and prints out data but on the 2nd try i get "fail to print", can any1 plz help

Answer 1

s.send(lolimessage + enter) send it in bytes with encoding

s.send(bytes(lolimessage + enter, "utf-8"))
