Suppress/ print without b' prefix for bytes in Python 3

Question

Just posting this so I can search for it later, as it always seems to stump me:

$ python3.2
Python 3.2 (r32:88445, Oct 20 2012, 14:09:50) 
[GCC 4.5.2] on lin         


        

Answer 1

you can use this code for showing or print :

.decode("utf-8")

and you can use this for encode or saving :

.encode('utf-8')
