UnicodeDecodeError: 'utf-8' codec can't decode byte 0xff in position 14: invalid start byte

I am using a go client to publish messages and nats.py to handle them:

On decode line I am getting this error:

    data = msg.data.decode()

UnicodeDecodeError: 'utf-8' codec can't decode byte 0xff in position 14: invalid start byte

If I am not decoding, bytes look like this:

That was my mistake. I have been using GobMarshaler, instead of JSONMarshaler.
