_And_ you need to know the encoding of the text in the bytes. The above _assumes_ UTF-8 because that is the default for bytes.decode, and if that is _not_ what is in the bytes objects you will get mojibake. Because a lot of stuff is "mostly ASCII", this is the kind of bug which can lurk until much later when you have less usual data.
