[Senthil Kumar M]

from string import maketrans
intab = "aeiou"
outtab = "12345"
trantab = maketrans(intab,outtab)
st = "this is string example....wow!!!";
print(st.translate(trantab))
------------------------------------------------------

I got this error,

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "C:\Python30\fullpath.py", line 4, in <module>
    trantab = maketrans(intab,outtab)
  File "C:\Python30\lib\string.py", line 55, in maketrans
    raise TypeError("maketrans arguments must be bytes objects")
TypeError: maketrans arguments must be bytes objects
