Python converting UINT8

Question

I have some canbus string data (unit8) like: data: [24, 4, 0, 0, 191, 9, 146, 9]

When I try to capture this data and print on the console it looks like ascii.

payload = [x for x in data.data]
print payload
>>>['\x00', '\x00', '\x00', '\x00', '\x02', '\x00', '\x00', '\x00']

How do I get this data back to: [24, 4, 0, 0, 191, 9, 146, 9]

What type is `data.data` and why are you iterating over it? – Ignacio Vazquez-Abrams Sep 27 '15 at 20:10 — Ignacio Vazquez-Abrams, Sep 27 '15 at 20:10

Turn it into a bytearray.

>>> bytearray('abc')
bytearray(b'abc')
>>> bytearray('abc')[1]
98

Yes, that worked. I used payload = bytearray(data.data) then print [x for x in payload] it prints [24, 4, 0, 0, 191, 9, 146, 9] – Droter Sep 27 '15 at 20:32
@Droter if you feel that solved your problem, you should accept it as the correct answer. – Eugene K Sep 27 '15 at 20:45
