printing a bytes string

Skaperen · Jul-20-2019, 11:18 PM

is there a quick and simple (one statement or one function/method call) to print a byte string (to stdout) without including the b' part?

Not sure, but may be you are looking for .encode method.

x = "This is a string"
print(x.encode('utf-8'))

actually, i think i am looking for .decode() since what i have to be printed is a bytearray (several of them). i'm thinking i need to make a printb() function to do it.
