When I run a q query using qPython, I am able to return the data in a pandas data frame. What I am struggling with are the types of the "string" columns, i.e. columns that are presented as simple or mixed (character) lists in q. Their dtype is object and the values are represented in the form b'ab34knadke'. What I would like to have, however, is just the "ab34knadke"-part as a string.
I have looked at the docs for qPython but I am struggling to fully get the pandas and reader components.
Any thoughts are much appreciated!
