Weird HTML code looks like this b'\xff\xd8\xff\xe0

Question

I'm using python to retrieve an HTML source, but what comes out looks like this. What is this, and why am I not getting the actual page source?

b'\xff\xd8\xff\xe0\x00\x10JFIF\x00\x01\x01\x00\x00\x01\x00\x01\x00\x00\xff\xdb\x00C

Answer 1

This is an image. Specifically a jpeg. Since it's a byte stream python prints it with b'.............' A jpeg starts with \xff\xd8\xff\
