split byte string into lines

Question

How can I split a byte string into a list of lines?

In python 2 I had:

rest = \"some\\nlines\"
for line in rest.split(\"\\n\"):
    print line
         


        

Answer 1

There is no reason to convert to string. Just give split bytes parameters. Split strings with strings, bytes with bytes.

>>> a = b'asdf\nasdf'
>>> a.split(b'\n')
[b'asdf', b'asdf']
