remove b due to conversion in PyQ

[Creepy]

I see the problem here, I was getting AttibuteError: recarray has no attribute decode.

My output var is a list of numpy arrays, just to drill down the specific problem, I tried

x = b'thef45th'
print(x.decode('uft8'))
Output came as expected: thef45th

Even if I try to access with index position from my array, still ended up in same error.
Could you please help to by-pass the decode error for List of numpy arrays?
