title: In Python 3, how can I convert ascii to string, *without encoding/decoding*
body: <p>Python 3.6</p>
  
  <p>I converted a string from utf8 to this:</p>
  
  <p>b'\xe6\x88\x91\xe6\xb2\xa1\xe6\x9c\x89\xe7\x94\xb5@xn--ssdcsrs-2e1xt16k.com.au'</p>
  
  <p>I now want that chunk of ascii back into string form, so there is no longer the little b for bytes at the beginning.</p>
  
  <p>BUT I don't want it converted back to UTF8, I want that same sequence of characters that you ses above in my Python string.</p>
  
  <p>How can I do so? All I can find are ways of converting bytes to string along with encoding or decoding.</p>
