Decoding is redundant  You only had this  error  in the first place  because of a misunderstanding of what s happening   You get the b because you encoded to utf-8 and now it s a bytes object     gt  gt  type  text  encode  utf-8      gt  gt   lt class  bytes  gt    Fixes    You can just print the string first Redundantly decode it after encoding
