You need to decode the bytes object to produce a string:
>>> b"abcde" b'abcde' # utf-8 is used here because it is a very common encoding, but you # need to use the encoding your data is actually in. >>> b"abcde".decode("utf-8") 'abcde'
Alternatively, we can use the built-in codecs module
import codecs a = b'xyz' res = codecs.decode(a) print(res) = > 'xyz'
