How to convert my bytearray ('b \ x9e \ x18K \ x9a') to something similar & # 8594; '\ x9e \ x18K \ x9a' <--- just str, not an array

How to convert mine bytearray('b\x9e\x18K\x9a')to something like this → \x9e\x18K\x9a<--- just str, not array!

>> uidar = bytearray()
>> uidar.append(tag.nti.nai.uid[0])
>> uidar.append(tag.nti.nai.uid[1])
>> uidar.append(tag.nti.nai.uid[2])
>> uidar.append(tag.nti.nai.uid[3])
>> uidar
   bytearray('b\x9e\x18K\x9a')

I am trying to decode my bytearray

uid  =  uidar.decode('utf-8')

but he cannot ...

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "<pyshell#42>", line 1, in <module>
    uid = uidar.decode("utf-8")
  File "/usr/lib/python2.7/encodings/utf_8.py", line 16, in decode
    return codecs.utf_8_decode(input, errors, True)
UnicodeDecodeError: 'utf8' codec can't decode byte 0x9e in position 0: invalid start byte

Help me please...

In 2.x, strings are bytes.

>>> str(bytearray('b\x9e\x18K\x9a'))
'b\x9e\x18K\x9a'

Latin-1 maps the first 256 characters to their bytevalue equivalents, so in Python 3.x:

3>> bytearray(b'b\x9e\x18K\x9a').decode('latin-1')
'b\x9e\x18K\x9a'
