Remove 'b' character do in front of a string literal in Python 3 [duplicate]

This should do the trick:

pw_bytes.decode("utf-8")

Here u Go

f = open('test.txt','rb+')
ch=f.read(1)
ch=str(ch,'utf-8')
print(ch)

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.

 >> type("text".encode("utf-8"))
 >> <class 'bytes'>
