   Ah. I see - this actually converts the value of the bytes to "nice string" representation: https://docs.python.org/3/library/stdtypes.html#boolean-operations-and-or-not
   
   > Passing a bytes object to str() without the encoding or errors arguments falls under the first case of returning the informal string representation (see also the -b command-line option to Python). For example:
   
   ```
   str(b'Zoot!')
   "b'Zoot!'"
   ```
   
   So those are not "bytes" but string containing `b'` :scream: 
   
   Yeah. Agree it's a bug then. Would you like to fix it maybe? What do you think should be the fix @danneaves-ee  ?
