I'm creating a twitch chat bot to read the chat on my stream. But when I try to .split() the incoming string into separate strings to isolate the username and message, it displays an extra ' and ["'"]. when I try to print the strings separately by index I get an index error.

Following is the code which connects the the twitch chat fine, and the result when I type "test" into the chat.

from settings import *
import socket
import threading

class twitch:
 def __init__(self, host, port, nick, pwd, channel):
 self.s = socket.socket()
 self.s.connect((host, port))
 self.s.send(bytes("PASS " + pwd + "rn", "UTF-8"))
 self.s.send(bytes("NICK " + nick + "rn", "UTF-8"))
 self.s.send(bytes("JOIN #" + channel + " rn", "UTF-8"))
 self.s.send(bytes("PRIVMSG #" + channel + " :" + "Connected " + "rn", "UTF-8"))
 self.alive = True

 readerthread = threading.Thread(target=self.read_chat)
 readerthread.start()

 def read_chat(self):
 while self.alive:
 for line in str(self.s.recv(1024)).split('\r\n'):
 if "PING :tmi.twitch.tv" in line:
 print(time.strftime("%H:%M:%S"), "PONG :tmi.twitch.tv")
 s.send(bytes("PONG :tmi.twitch.tvrn", "UTF-8"))
 else:
 print(line)
 parts = line.split(":")
 print(parts)

def main():
 tc = twitch(HOST, PORT, NICK, PASS, CHANNEL)

Printing the string (line) to the console produces: b':username!username@username.tmi.twitch.tv PRIVMSG #username :test

However when I split the string and print the list of strings (parts) it produces this:
["b'", 'username!username@username.tmi.twitch.tv PRIVMSG #username ', 'test']
'
["'"]

python string irc twitch

You are reading bytes. Hence the b'...'.
What does the 'b' character do in front of a string literal?

Convert it to a string and then handle it.

code from the link.

>>> b"abcde"
b'abcde'

# utf-8 is used here because it is a very common encoding, but you
# need to use the encoding your data is actually in.
>>> b"abcde".decode("utf-8") 
'abcde'
