[Tutor] html2text expects bytes-like object

[Julius Hamilton]

Hey,

I would like to convert a webpage to plaintext with html2text.

I tried:

import requests
import html2text

r = requests.get("https://www.google.com")

html = r.content

html2text.html2text(html)

But this returns:

TypeError: a bytes-like object is required, not 'str'

In the documentation, it shows the above html2text method working for what
appears to be a string.

Why am I getting the response that I need to pass it a "bytes-like object"?

Thanks very much,
Julius
