I Agree but I don't know in what encoding the string is encoded into. I just tried names = tuple( [s.decode('utf8') for s in names] ) but i get the error of: AttributeError("'str' object has no attribute 'decode'",) but why it says s is a string object? Since we have names in raw bytes is should be a bytes object? How can i turn names from raw bytes to utf-8 strings? ps. Who encoded them in raw bytes anyways? Since they fetced directly from the database shouldn't python3 have them stored in names as utf-8 strings? why raw bytes instead? -- https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
