I am writing simple program to read messages from MQ but looking few more other characters along with message. The message is prefixed by "b" & appearing within quotes.

eg: Message in MQ is:

{"vaultToken":"2223008965840750"}

After read its written in file as:

b'{"vaultToken":"2223008965840750"}'

Can you please let me know why it's happening? Is there any character conversion needed? ( It's happening with any sample message which i am inserting into MQ for test purpose.)

Below is the snippet of code:

qmgr = pymqi.connect(queue_manager, channel, conn_info)

queue = pymqi.Queue(qmgr, queue_name)
message = queue.get()
print(message)

I believe the 'b' means it is bytes. See this question: https://stackoverflow.com/questions/6269765/what-does-the-b-character-do-in-front-of-a-string-literal – Morag Hughson Jan 20 '22 at 04:02
