try use `.decode('ascii',errors='replace')` this will give you a proper stirng, allso change `binary = int(f, 2)` – sahasrara62 Nov 24 '22 at 20:38
Where does the `f` bitstring come from? It has 128 bits, so it's an 8 bit format (proper ASCII is 7 bit), but it's not readable English text in the usual 8 bit ASCII extensions (Latin1 or cp1252), and it's not valid UTF-8. – PM 2Ring Nov 25 '22 at 02:58
it's not error again, thank you for your help @sahasrara62 – HelpMeInDjango Nov 25 '22 at 06:07
