Question

I have a variable data:

data = [b'script', b'-compiler', b'123cds', b'-algo', b'timing']

I need to convert it to remove all occurrence of “b” in the list.
How can i do that?

Not sure whether it would help – but it works with your sample:

initList = [b'script', b'-compiler', b'123cds', b'-algo', b'timing']
resultList = [str(x) for x in initList ]

Or in P3:

resultList = [x.decode("utf-8") for x in initList ] # where utf-8 is encoding used

Check more on decode function.
