I am using a python library urllib3. The service I am calling returns a byte string

        https = urllib3.PoolManager(cert_reqs=ssl.CERT_NONE)

        Response = https.request(method='GET', url=f"https://smart/mem/2.0/files/{fileId}/content", headers=headers)

I want to be able to store this byte string in a variable and convert to an image later.

How can I extract the byte string from my response?

I mean a base64 string rather – Baba Jun 30 '22 at 17:58
`base64.b64encode(Response.data)`? – Haoliang Jun 30 '22 at 18:02
I got a string back and it is not meaningful. I should be able to convert the string returned to an image. I don't think the base64 line of code above works – Baba Jun 30 '22 at 18:08
then simply `data = Response.data`, and you should be able to convert `data` back to an image. – Haoliang Jun 30 '22 at 18:20
Same thing. Not meaningful. Coming back with a bunch of \x01. – Baba Jun 30 '22 at 18:26
@Baba There are ways to convert those into images, see e.g., https://stackoverflow.com/a/32210710/9987623. – AlexK Jun 30 '22 at 22:07
