Then, how should I do it?
I read a byte string from sys.stdin which needs to converted to unicode
string for further processing. I cannot just remove the decode statement and
proceed?
This is it what it looks like:
for line in sys.stdin:
line = line.decode('utf-8').strip()
if line == '<page>': #do something here
elsif #do something here
If I remove the decode statement, line == '<page>' never gets true.
