decode method returns unicode response in lambda env

Decode function in Python 3.7 environment in aws lambda returns 1\u0000\u0000\u0000\u000001 at [1] while in local python 3.7.2 interpretter it returns 101

def lambda_handler(event, context):

    data = b'1\x00\x00\x00\x0001'
    response = data.decode()
    print(response)#[1]
    return {
        'statusCode': 200,
        'body': str(response)
    }

while local interpretter,

>>> data = b'1\x00\x00\x00\x0001'
>>> print (data.decode())
101

I require 101 as the response from the lambda 3.7 interpreter as well. Any suggestions are welcome.

Just remove the null values (\x00) in the string. Print won't be able to output correctly if you have those null values in your string.

data.decode('utf8').replace('\x00', '')
