Decoding messages sent/received by Python websocket client

I am using the websocket module for my client in python3, and I am trying to troubleshoot some errors I am getting that lead to the client disconnecting after seemingly random intervals.
When I enabled trace with websocket.enableTrace(True) I can see some entries that I am not sure how to decrypt. Here is an example:

Thread-3:send: b'x88x82xc1$xf7xa6xc2xcc'

Any idea how to decrypt the message and see if this could explain the source of my problem?

Thank you!
