Arfrever Frehtes Taifersar Arahesis added the comment: You rather meant [2:-1] instead of [1:-1], but if initial "b'" and final "'" are not needed in result string, then maybe just call .decode() on an instance of bytes.
>>> str(b"xxx") "b'xxx'" >>> repr(b"xxx") "b'xxx'" >>> repr(b"xxx")[1:-1] "'xxx" >>> repr(b"xxx")[2:-1] 'xxx' >>> b"xxx".decode() 'xxx' ---------- _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue20363> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
