>>> import numpy as np
>>> import mindspore.dataset as ds
>>>
>>> data = np.array([["1", "2", "3"]], dtype=np.str_)
>>> dataset = ds.NumpySlicesDataset(data, column_names=["text"])
>>> for item in dataset.create_dict_iterator(num_epochs=1, output_numpy=True):
...     bytes_data = text.to_bytes(item["text"])
