How to input audio as bytes in moviepy - python-3.x

Question

I have audio as bytes in the form of:
b'ID3\x04\x00\x00\x00\x00\x00#TSSE\x00\x00\x00\x0f\x00\x00\x03Lavf57.71.100\x00\x00\x00\x00\x00\x00\x00\x00\x00\x00\x00\xff\...
That I got from Amazon web services:
import boto3
client = boto3.client('polly')
response = client.synthesize_speech(
Engine='neural',
LanguageCode='en-GB',
OutputFormat='mp3',
SampleRate='8000',
Text='hey whats up this is a test',
VoiceId='Brian'
)
And I want to input it into moviepy audiofile using
AudioFileClip()
AudioFileClip takes filename or an array representing a sound. I know I can save the audio as a file and read it, but I would like to have AudioFileClip take the bytes output I showed above.
I tried:
AudioFileClip(response['AudioStream'].read())
But this gives the error:
TypeError: endswith first arg must be bytes or a tuple of bytes, not
str
What can I do?

You need to convert the stream of audio to a different type. (Thats why its called TypeError). You are putting it as a string and it wants a byte format.
You can convert a str to a byte by using the bytearrayfunction!
