How to Convert String to Byte

WhitneyL2023 5

I'm downloading a file in a pipeline and need to convert a string to a byte before decrypting it. The error is "At most 45 bytes at once"

test_string = "container/folder1/folder2/file.txt"

res = bytes(test_string, 'ascii')

The code snippet you have provided is correct for converting a string to bytes in Python using ASCII encoding.

However, the error message "At most 45 bytes at once" might be related to something else in your code or the specific function you're calling that requires the byte conversion.

Try the following :

test_string = "container/folder1/folder2/file.txt"
res = bytes(test_string, 'utf-8')
