How to decode pyhon bytecode to ascii? I extract data with selenium from network response. Should get xml. Getting: ['b'\xa5\xff\xff\xc7\x88\xe4\xb4\xd7\x03\xa0\x11:|\xce\xdb\xb7\x0f\xf1\xdf\xfc\x1f\xdb\x93\x91^\xbc\xa3\xdd\xc2\x02V\x00\xba$\xbd\x10\xd2\xd0E\xf2\x90\xb6\xca\xee\x10\xbf\xbf_\xbf\xfc\xef?\xe9\x13{H\xf1\xa1\xa0\x00\x1c\x01(\x80\x1c\x81\x02(s\xe7Z\xf3\xb3N\xf5L\xdc>\xe7\x8f\xbbwl\xbf\x99\x91\xd4O\xde\xb4,\xf3PH\x02L1\x00\xc98\xc3,\x13!\x82\xc6\xc2\xa6Bd"k\xcb\x9d(\xb9\x13%WQr\x15%W\xb1\xe5J\t\x9e:\x8a\x03\x99\x06H\xd0\x8f\xd8\xfe\x9f9\xbc\xfc\x157\x111\xd7\x15\xaab\xfb\xe8;\xab\xee\xfc\x9b\xeeu\x10<d\x04\x06Y\xa8\xd7\x9f\x11...
Code:
...
for request in driver.requests: if request.response: text_file.write(str(request.response.body))
I've tried:
decoded = request.response.body.decode('ascii')
or request.response.body.decode('utf-8') or cp1251/1252
I get:
UnicodeDecodeError: 'ascii' codec can't decode byte 0xa5 in position 0: ordinal not in range(128)
Response should be xml (~1,5mb) in attached photoresponse
If I use:
decoded = base64.b64decode(request.response.body)
I'm getting smth like: b'T@\x00\xad\x9a\xb5\xba\xfa3u\xca\x84PG\xbd\x8a\xab\x1f\xcdcJ%\r\xd4\xff\x0c$)\x9a>.... not what to be expected. Combining decoded = base64.b64decode(request.response.body).decode('ascii') also doesnt help: UnicodeDecodeError: 'ascii' codec can't decode byte 0x85 in position 0: ordinal not in range(128)
Help me, please.
