python 2 : python Python 2.7.15 (default, May 15 2018, 15:37:31) ..... >>> import urllib2 >>> res = urllib2.urlopen('https://api.ipify.org').read() >>> print res www.xxx.yyy.zzz
python3 python3 Python 3.6.6 (default, Jul 19 2018, 16:29:00) ... >>> from urllib.request import urlopen >>> res = urlopen('https://api.ipify.org').read() >>> print(res) b'ww.xxx.yyy.zzz' I'm expecting the python 2 result, just the ip address. How can I get python 3 just to give the address, and not include b' ' ? I know I can mess with string manipulation, but I want to keep it simple. sean -- https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
