getting an error while running python code for cursor movements using eye gaze

Question

from pymouse.windows import PyMouse
import zmq
#from pymouse import PyMouse

#mouse setup
m = PyMouse()
x_dim, y_dim = m.screen_size()

#network setup
context = zmq.Context()
socket = context.socket(zmq.SUB)
socket.connect("tcp://127.0.0.1:5000")
#filter by messages by stating string 'STRING'. '' receives all messages
socket.setsockopt(zmq.SUBSCRIBE, '')
smooth_x, smooth_y= 0.5, 0.5

while True:
    msg = socket.recv()
    items = msg.split("\n") 
    msg_type = items.pop(0)
    items = dict([i.split(':') for i in items[:-1] ])
    if msg_type == 'Pupil':
        try:
            my_gaze = items['norm_gaze']

            if my_gaze != "None":
                 raw_x,raw_y = map(float,my_gaze[1:-1].split(','))

                # smoothing out the gaze so the mouse has smoother movement
                smooth_x += 0.5 * (raw_x-smooth_x)
                smooth_y += 0.5 * (raw_y-smooth_y)

                x = smooth_x
                y = smooth_y

                y = 1-y # inverting y so it shows up correctly on screen
                x *= x_dim
                y *= y_dim

                x = min(x_dim-10, max(10,x))
                y = min(y_dim-10, max(10,y))

                m.move(x,y)
        except KeyError:
            pass
    else:
        # process non gaze position events from plugins here
        pass`

here on running this code i am getting error as :

TypeError: unicode not allowed, use setsockopt_string

setsockopt expects an int or a bytes object, but you are passing a unicode object.

The error message tells you what to do: use setsockopt_string.

socket.setsockopt_string(zmq.SUBSCRIBE, '')

Alternatively, you can pass a bytes object to setsockopt:

socket.setsockopt(zmq.SUBSCRIBE, b'')

Note the b prefix.
