Thanks Steven for your fast response. > The best way to see what your string actually contains is the print the repr: You are right. bytes.decode is correct. Im not a python expert, so thanks for the note about "repr". With repr(...) everything looks fine. Nevertheless, I get an additional \r in my output. Not sure if it is a problem of python, windows or just me. I get the following output with the python interpretor: Python 3.8.3rc1 (tags/v3.8.3rc1:802eb67, Apr 29 2020, 21:39:14) [MSC v.1924 64 bit (AMD64)] on win32 Type "help", "copyright", "credits" or "license" for more information. >>> import sys >>> sys.stdout.encoding 'utf-8' >>> b = b'A\r\nA' >>> s = b.decode('utf-8') >>> print(b) b'A\r\nA' >>> print(repr(s)) 'A\r\nA' >>> print(s) A A >>> sys.stdout.write(s) A A4 >>> with open("./test.txt", "a") as myfile: ... myfile.write(s) This all looks right. But the file doesn't (see attached screenshot). I also get an additional \r in the output file if i run the script throught "python test.py > piped.txt" ---------- Added file: https://bugs.python.org/file49215/test.png _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <https://bugs.python.org/issue40863> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
