Hi,is there any way to convert a string to bytes without interpreting the data in any way? Something like: s='abcde' b=bytes(s, "unchanged") Regards, Peter
You needed to specify that you are using Python 3.x . In python 2.x, a string is indeed a series of bytes. But in Python 3.x, you have to be much more specific.
For example, if that string is coming from a literal, then you usually can convert it back to bytes simply by encoding using the same method as the one specified for the source file. So look at the encoding line at the top of the file.
