If ''.join(iterable_of_strings) executes, the result is a string and str 
would not be needed. If you try
"".join(tulemus2)
by itself, you will see the same error.

Since tulemus2 is an iterable_of_bytes, you must join with bytes b'' and 
call str on the result. So just add the b prefix.

What Roy tried to say to you earlier is that when you get an error in a 
expression, and you do not understand *exactly* where in the expression 
the error is, pull the expression apart and test the pieces 
individually. This sometimes includes splitting

print(expression)  # into

s=expression
print(s)
