Question

How to convert my bytearray(\'b\\x9e\\x18K\\x9a\') to something like this --> \\x9e\\x18K\\x9a <---just str, not array!

Answer 1

In 2.x, strings are bytestrings.

>>> str(bytearray('b\x9e\x18K\x9a'))
'b\x9e\x18K\x9a'

Latin-1 maps the first 256 characters to their bytevalue equivalents, so in Python 3.x:

3>> bytearray(b'b\x9e\x18K\x9a').decode('latin-1')
'b\x9e\x18K\x9a'
