On the contrary, you need one more b prefix:
>>> tulemus2 = [b'u', b'o', ...]
>>> b"".join(tulemus2)
b'uo\x00\x1d |N\x0f9jKJ&#AK5k_\x1e,j\x0c\x08i(\x06\\r3\x1fVs9\x1d'

That is very likely, but you have to be specific about the input data and
what "makes sense" as the output.
If you start with a hexdump of binary data you already have the human-
readable form, and binascii.unhexlify() will convert it back to the
"unreadable" binary form.
