Convert bytes to a string

Question

I\'m using this code to get standard output from an external program:

>>> from subprocess import *
>>> command_stdout = Popen([\'ls\', \'-l         


        

Answer 1

I made a function to clean a list

def cleanLists(self, lista):
    lista = [x.strip() for x in lista]
    lista = [x.replace('\n', '') for x in lista]
    lista = [x.replace('\b', '') for x in lista]
    lista = [x.encode('utf8') for x in lista]
    lista = [x.decode('utf8') for x in lista]

    return lista
