python convert memoryview to string

For Python 2.7 and 3.x you can try this:

a = memoryview(b'mystring')
print(a)  # <memory at 0x10cbebb98>
#for string
print(str(a,'utf8'))  # 'mystring' as UTF-8

# for bytes
print(bytes(a))  # b'mystring'

A memory object can be converted to a string using .tobytes() like so:

a = memoryview(b'mystring')
print(a)  # <memory at 0x10cbebb98>
print(a.tobytes())  # 'mystring'
