always has a b' or a b"

[sudo-d4s3]

I don't know what I'm doing wrong this is my code

from chatterbotapi import ChatterBotFactory, ChatterBotType

factory = ChatterBotFactory()

bot1 = factory.create(ChatterBotType.CLEVERBOT)
bot1session = bot1.create_session()

bot2 = factory.create(ChatterBotType.CLEVERBOT)
bot2session = bot2.create_session()

s = 'Hi'
while (1):

    print ('bot1> ' + s)

    s = bot2session.think(s);
    print ('bot2> ' + s)

    s = bot1session.think(s);

and here is the output

bot1> Hi
bot2> b'Ja jestem ch\xc5\x82opakiem palancie.
bot1> b"That's not english.
bot2> b'Yash, it is.
bot1> b"Your last message was, but not the one before.
bot2> b'What are you doing?
bot1> b"Talking to you. What are you doing?
bot2> b'Talking with you. I think.
bot1> b"Ohhh, that was suprising.

This is strange.
I do not know your OS, or even if you are executing this is an terminal.
But, if you happen to use a unix like OS (linux or osx), execute the locale command in a terminal and paste the output here.
It should give you something like this:

$ locale
LANG="fr_CA.UTF-8"
LC_COLLATE="fr_CA.UTF-8"
LC_CTYPE="fr_CA.UTF-8"
LC_MESSAGES="fr_CA.UTF-8"
LC_MONETARY="fr_CA.UTF-8"
LC_NUMERIC="fr_CA.UTF-8"
LC_TIME="fr_CA.UTF-8"
LC_ALL=

I am running this on windows, with python idle but on another pc and it
doesn't do this

I do not have access to Windows, so I can not reproduce this strange bug.
Are you able to tel what is the difference between the two pc ?
Maybe the Python version, the OS locale, the IDE ..

Also, before your program (after the from chatterbotapi import ChatterBotFactory, ChatterBotType), try putting those lines:

import locale
locale.setlocale(locale.LC_ALL, '')

Anyways, I guess it has something to do with your OS regional or locale settings.
