Update profile picture using Python ms-graph-sdk

Question

I would like to add a mask to a users picture. I am able to get the picture and convert to jpeg, add the mask, convert back to binary and then try to load back to the user profile. The update method is failing and tried a few combinations:

AttributeError: 'bytes' object has no attribute 'serialize'

Thanks

response = await client.users.by_user_id('17c89e3d-f28f-459e-8738-cb4cfa17c3fe').photo.patch(body=img_bytes)

Thanks for posting your question in the Microsoft Q&A forum.

This should resolve the AttributeError you encountered.

import base64 

img_base64 = base64.b64encode(img_bytes).decode('utf-8')  

response = await client.users.by_user_id('17c89e3d-f28f-459e-8738-cb4cfa17c3fe')
.photo.patch(body={
    '@odata.type': 'microsoft.graph.profilePhoto',
    'id': 'User photo ID', 
    'content': img_base64, 
})
