Try
buf.decode("utf-8")
Generally:
bytes --> unicode:
some_str = some_bytes.decode(encoding)
some_str = str(some_bytes, encoding)
unicode --> bytes:
some_bytes = some_str.encode(encoding)
some_bytes = bytes(some_str, encoding)
I always use encode/decode, probably because bytes is an alias of str in py2
and does not accept a second argument.
