L8: problem with binary data (Python 3)

[Norbert Schlaffke]

I downloaded and isolated the strings using urlib and re. After conversion using bytearray I got this: 

bytearray(b'BZh91AY&SYA\\xaf\\x82\\r\\x00\\x00\\x01\\x01\\x80\\x02\\xc0\\x02\\x00 \\x00!\\x9ah3M\\x07<]\\xc9\\x14\\xe1BA\\x06\\xbe\\x084')

However, I keep getting this error: OSError: Invalid data stream

Thanks for help in advance!

[Beniamin Kalinowski]

the 'BZh91AY&SYA\\xaf\\x82\\r\\x00\\x00\\x01\\x01\\x80\\x02\\xc0\\x02\\x00 \\x00!\\x9ah3M\\x07<]\\xc9\\x14\\xe1BA\\x06\\xbe\\x084' is an escaped unicode value, not a byte array.

You should change r"\xaf" string to the b"\xaf" value.
