TelegramBOT Python encoding how to fix?

How to fix encoding in python/telebot?
The code:

elif message.text == "Вкл.":
    comma = os.popen('ping 8.8.8.8').read()
    bot.send_message(message.chat.id, str(comma))

When I run it, I get this in response (The bot sends this text to the user):

ЋЎ¬Ґ­ Ї ЄҐв ¬Ё б 8.8.8.8 Ї® б 32 Ў ©в ¬Ё ¤ ­­ле:

    ЊЁ­Ё¬ «м­®Ґ = 26¬бҐЄ, Њ ЄбЁ¬ «м­®Ґ = 27 ¬бҐЄ, ‘।­ҐҐ = 26 ¬бҐЄ

How can I fix this and is it even possible?

Answer 1

This is cp866 encoded text, it needs to be converted to utf-8.
