Trying to create a database that can be set from a HTML form, then sent into variables in a python script to run on a bot for discord.

Change your call to setup the Redis connection from:

r = redis.StrictRedis(host='localhost', port=6379, db=0)

to:

r = redis.StrictRedis('localhost', 6379, charset='utf-8', decode_responses=True)

The decode_responses flag tells the client to auto-convert the values from binary to a Python String. The charset indicates which charset should be used for the conversion.
