Whenever I retrieve data via UDP it’s being retrieved like this:
b"{‘EHZ’, 1582134363.658, 20145, 23499, 20204, 21549, 22799, 20228, 14193, 6997, 13085, 11014, 6070, 12098, 17681, 16889, 18778, 23669, 17933, 17199, 19970, 17204, 16579, 13997, 14233, 15419, 13732}"
Why is it enclosed with (b"")?
Correct me if I’m wrong.
Just found out it’s a python thing. For anyone who’s using later version, simply use .decode() function to remove this because b"" indicates that the data are bytes array.
That’s correct, it’s received as something Python calls a bytes object, which is closely related to a string but is encoded as bytes instead of, for example, UTF-8. To decode from bytes to UTF-8 and back is very easy:
>>> bytes = b'this is a bytes object'
>>> str = bytes.decode()
>>> str # this actually isn't a bytes object, but a regular UTF-8 string
'this is a bytes object'
>>> str.encode()
b'this is a bytes object'
