Use codecs module s open   to read file  import codecs with codecs open file name   r   encoding  utf-8   errors  ignore   as fdata

I m not familiar with the library  but if your problem is that you don t want a byte array  one easy way is to specify an encoding type straight in a cast    gt  gt  gt  my byte str b Hello World    gt  gt  gt  str my byte str   utf-8    Hello World

User · Answer

Other answers sort of hint at it  but the problem may arise from expecting a bytes object   In Python 3  decode is valid when you have an object of class bytes   Running encode before decode may  fix  the problem  but it is a useless pair of operations that suggest the problem us upstream

You are trying to decode an object that is already decoded  You have a str  there is no need to decode from UTF-8 anymore   Simply drop the  decode  utf-8   part   header data   data 1  0  1    As for your fetch   call  you are explicitly asking for just the first message  Use a range if you want to retrieve more messages  See the documentation      The message set options to commands below is a string specifying one or more messages to be acted upon  It may be a simple message number   1    a range of message numbers   2 4    or a group of non-contiguous ranges separated by commas   1 3 6 9    A range can contain an asterisk to indicate an infinite upper bound   3

Begining with Python 3  all strings are unicode objects    a    Happy New Year    Python 3   b   unicode  Happy New Year     Python 2  The instructions above are the same  So I think you should remove the  decode  utf-8   part because you  already have a unicode object
