Python Networking responding wtih 'b' -

i've started python networking, , after looking @ few internet tutorials, gave go... problem is, whenever response sever, prints in:

recieved from: (host & port)b'hey' - haven't put b anywhere.

here server code:

import socket import tkinter import time import sys  def main(): top = tkinter.tk() top.configure(background='black') host = '10.0.0.2' port = 5000  s = socket.socket() s.bind((host, port))  s.listen(1) c, addr = s.accept() while true:     con = tkinter.label(top, text="connection from: " + str(addr), bg='red', fg='white').pack()     data = c.recv(1024)     if not data:         break     conn = tkinter.label(top, text="recieved from: " + str(addr) + str(data), bg='black', fg='white').pack()     top.mainloop() c.close()  main() 

and client:

import socket  def main(): host = '10.0.0.2' port = 5000  s = socket.socket() s.connect((host, port))  message = input("> ") while message != 'quit':     s.send(message.encode('ascii'))     message = input(">")  s.close() main() 

thanks input - i'm not @ yet! (my hosts aren't computer that's not issue)

when call socket.recv() in python 3 returns bytes object, not normal string. can convert normal string follows:

data.decode('utf-8')
