   The python error a bytes-like object is required error can be either due to the reason that you are passing arguments of the wrong type or that the program is excepting byte type, but the type received was of something else. Here are some ways to fix this problem:

   METHOD 1 to fix python error a bytes-like object is required :

   1. The easiest solution to our problem is to ensure that the object types match by converting the delimiter string within the split() function to a byte object.
   2. You can achieve this by using the prefix b before the delimiter string within the split() function.
   3. This allows you to operate upon a byte object within the split() function, thereby avoiding the TypeError.

   METHOD 2:

   1. In our code, we are trying to read the file in binary mode and then creating a list of bytes. In the for loop, we are comparing the string to bytes and that is exactly where the code is failing.
   2. So to overcome this, you can decode the bytes while adding them to the list using the decode() function.
   3. The decode() method allows you to convert from one encoding scheme, in which the argument string is encoded to another desired encoding scheme.

   METHOD 3:

   1.  The last method to fix this issue is by opening the file in text mode.
   2.  You can achieve this by using  rt instead of rb inside the open() function.
