Re: [Jython-users] converting java byte[] to Jython str/unicode

[Jeff E. <jem...@fr...>]

Since I use Jython primarily to script my Java application, I tend to use Java API's and would do it this way:

from java.nio.charset import Charset
from java.lang import String
s = str(String(aByteArray,Charset.forName('UTF-8')))

but I would omit the str() part and just keep the Java String and let Jython convert if and when it needs to.

s = String(aByteArray,Charset.forName('UTF-8'))
