Telnetlib read server response without telnet commands

I'm using telnetlib to connect to a remote telnet server and parse it's response, however, all telnetlib's read_* methods return its raw response - including raw telnet command bytes (starting with 0xFF) - which is undesirable for my purpose.

For example, when calling read_all:
desired output - b'Hello'
output returned by telnetlib - b'\xff\xfd\x18\xff\xfdHello'

Is there a way to make telnetlib exclude those special telnet control bytes from its output?

As far as I can tell from your question you need to convert the string into UTF-8. This may be your solution. https://www.tutorialspoint.com/python/string_decode.htm
