Sometimes I want bytes and sometimes I want str.  I am going to be converting some of the time. ;-) Below is a basic CGI application that assumes that json module works with str, not bytes.  How would you write it if the json module does not support returning a str? print("Content-Type: application/json; charset=utf-8") inputobject = json.loads(sys.stdin.read()) outputobject = dosomework(inputobject) print(json.dumps(outputobject)) print()

Like this?

print("Content-Type: application/json; charset=utf-8") input_object = json.loads(sys.stdin.buffer.read()) output_object = do_some_work(input_object) stdout.buffer.write(json.dumps(output_object))
