Parse binary data to ASCII string

Question

I need convert binary data to ASCII string. This string was packed as 15 bytes. For parsing other data in packet I use bitstring Python module. But I can't find functions for ASCII string unpack.

I get string data in binary format:

>> value = const_bit_stream.read(8*15)
>> str(value)
'0x383638323034303031353732383939'

How I can convert these bytes to ASCII string using bitstring or other tool?

Use binascii to convert binary to ASCII.

binascii.b2a_uu(data)

where data is a variable with a length of 45 or less characters. The return value is the converted value.
