Use b''.join(tulemus2), and then to convert it to a string you have to specify
the encoding, which should be 'ascii', as you say it is ASCII.
str(b''.join(tulemus2), 'ascii')
or
b''.join(tulemus2).decode('ascii')
But note: If your tulemus2 contains bytes > 127 the this will fail as it is
then not ASCII.

You can use base64.b16decode, but it needs a byte string as input. For the rest
is is the same as unhexlify. And both will give you a byte string, because
there is no way to translate a hex string to a character string without
specifying an encoding (if there is hex > 7F it is no longer ASCII).
