[Tutor] byte array conversion question

[Bill Allen]

I have found that there are a couple of ways to convert a byte array to a
string in Python.   Is there any advantage or disadvantage to either method?

my_bytes = b'this is a test'

str(my_bytes,'utf-8')   yields 'this is a test'
my_bytes.decode('utf-8';)   yeilds 'this is a test'
