My code is very simple:
from urllib.request import urlopen
quest = input("question link: ").strip()
page = urlopen(quest).read().decode()
I want the user to input an url and to store the raw data of it, in page, but when I try to run it with an url like this https://stackoverflow.com/questions/74783398/pyqt-app-doesnt-exit-when-i-close-the-window it returns to me an error saying that it couldn't decode a byte:
Traceback (most recent call last):

How can I fix it? Thanks.
