URL Decode with Python 3

Question

Is there a way to URL decode a string in Python 3

to take something like this

id%253D184ff84d27c3613d%26quality%3Dmedium 

and decode it twice to get

id=184ff84d27c3613d&quality=medium 

Answer 1

Just use urllib.parse.unquote():

>>> import urllib.parse >>> urllib.parse.unquote('id%253D184ff84d27c3613d%26quality%3Dmedium') 'id%3D184ff84d27c3613d&quality=medium' >>> urllib.parse.unquote('id%3D184ff84d27c3613d&quality=medium') id=184ff84d27c3613d&quality=medium
