In Python 3 I'm getting error TypeError: a bytes-like object is required, not 'bytearray'
I have a bytearray, which looks like this:
>>> print(my_ba)
bytearray(b'}\x0e\x15/ow4|-')
If I enter this in the console it works:
>>> print(base58.b58encode(b'}\x0e\x15/ow4|-'))

But this gives an error, and I can't find out how to get the b'' string from the bytearray:
>>> print(base58.b58encode(my_ba))
TypeError: a bytes-like object is required, not 'bytearray'
I'm sure it's obvious, but how do I convert the bytearray to a string with a b prefix?

Using the decode() Function to convert Bytearray to String in Python. An alternative way to convert a bytearray to string is by using the decode() method. The decode() method, when invoked on a bytearray object, takes the encoding format as input and returns the output string.
The difference between bytes() and bytearray() is that bytes() returns an object that cannot be modified, and bytearray() returns an object that can be modified.
Python | bytearray() functionbytearray() method returns a bytearray object which is an array of given bytes. It gives a mutable sequence of integers in the range 0 <= x < 256. Returns: Returns an array of bytes of the given size. source parameter can be used to initialize the array in few different ways.
As Coldspeed put it in the comments, just pass a bytearray to a bytes call:
bytes(my_ba)
