because string.join inserts a space between the bytes, by default (as
your example shows)
if you really need that join(list) thing (it's not clear how you read it, but
I find it a bit hard to believe that you've managed to read it into some-
thing that's supported by list but not unpack), you can do
obj = string.join(list(dataObject)[:4], "")
or
obj = "".join(list(dataObject[:4]))
or some variation thereof.
