How do I url unencode in Python?

Given this:

It%27s%20me%21

开发者_开发问答

Unencode it and turn it into regular text?

---

in python2

>>> import urlparse
>>> urlparse.unquote('It%27s%20me%21')
"It's me!"

In python3

>>> import urllib.parse
>>> urllib.parse.unquote('It%27s%20me%21')
"It's me!"

Take a look at urllib.unquote and urllib.unquote_plus. That will address your problem. Technically though url "encoding" is the process of passing arguments into a url with the & and ? characters (e.g. www.foo.com?x=11&y=12).

Use the unquote method from urllib.

>>> from urllib import unquote
>>> unquote('It%27s%20me%21')
"It's me!"
