Hex data is garbled when displaying received data from serial.

--- code ---

recvMessage = serialPort.readline()
print(recvMessage, end="\r\n")

--- result ---
b'ERXUDP FE80:0000:0000:0000:0280:8700:3015:64F5 FE80:0000:0000:0000:021D:1290:0003:8331 0E1A 0E1A 00808700301564F5 1 0012 \x10\x81\x00\x01\x02\x88\x01\x05\xff\x01r\x01\xe7\x04\x00\x00\x02\x04\r\n'

Mysterious value of 0x01r.
When the corresponding value is judged, it becomes 0x72.

The correct behavior is...

How do you know that isn't what is coming in over the serial port? I don't see any indication that this is a bug in python.

We can't really help you here with this sort of problem. I suggest you take this to the python-list mailing list: https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list

I'm going to close this. But if you have additional information that points to this being a bug in python, we can re-open it.
