[Django version up] The way to convert to string when saving TextFiled has changed

background

If you raise the Django version from 1.11.1 to 2.2, when the value of TextFields saved as a byte string is retrieved, It was supposed to save even the skin as b'...'.

Conclusion

--It was converted to string type using decode, but now it is changed to string type using str (). --If you use str (), the newline character is escaped or even b'' is included in the string.
