Getting TypeError: memoryview: a bytes-like object is required, not 'str' in Bing Speech Recognize

[tbaggs]

I updated the Bing Speech uri to the current supported URI for Bing Speech. However, I now get the following error when sending data to the Bing endpoint. Has anyone updated their Bing Speech API file to the current endpoint? https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/cognitive-services/speech/getstarted/getstartedrest?tabs=Powershell

New Bing URI:
url = 'https://speech.platform.bing.com/speech/recognition/interactive/cognitiveservices/v1?language=en-US'

Exception in thread Thread-1:

This is using the 4mic array for Raspberry Pi on the current Raspbian as of June 2018.

I solved this by doing a

data = b''.join(data)

prior to the bing.recognize
