Error message while loading an image to mongodb

Code:

import pymongo, gridfs
client = MongoClient("localhost", 27017)
db = client.gridfs_example
fs = gridfs.GridFS(db)
fs.list()
fs.put(open('C:\\Users\\Mihir\\Desktop\\Python with web interface\\crap\\Capture.PNG', 'r'), filename = 'images')

Error:

UnicodeDecodeError: 'charmap' codec can't decode byte 0x9c in position 19: character maps to <undefined>

I tried searching for web with no luck.

Since you're dealing with images, try to open their bytes, use "rb" instead of "r":

fs.put(open('C:\\Users\\Mihir\\Desktop\\Python with web interface\\crap\\Capture.PNG', 'rb'), filename = 'images')

Python is trying to convert the image bytes into string
