hi experts, how data can be send to the server, for example i retrieve MAC address, so i want send to the server ( i.e 211.21.24.43:8080/data?mac=00-0C-F1-56-98-AD

i found snippet from internet as below

from urllib2 import Request, urlopen
from binascii import b2a_base64

def b64open(url, postdata):
  req = Request(url, b2a_base64(postdata), headers={'Content-Transfer-Encoding': 'base64'})
  return urlopen(req)

conn = b64open("http://211.21.24.43:8080/data","mac=00-0C-F1-56-98-AD")

but when run,

File "send2.py", line 8
SyntaxError: Non-ASCII character '\xc3' in file send2.py on line 8, but no encoding declared; see http://www.python.org/peps/pep-0263.html for details

can anyone help me how send data to the server

thanks in advance
