IPTCInfo change keywords without quotation marks

Question

I try to change the keywords for some pics, with a csv file that has the nessescary data.

The problem is that I can't change the keywords without getting quotation marks into the array element(see: "b'Fallow_deer'") .

I hope someone can help.

code

Answer 1

string1 = 'Fallow_deer'
string1 = string1.encode('UTF-8')
array = [string1]
print(array)

What does the 'b' character do in front of a string literal?
