If I have this line in Python, how to decode it?

Question

s = 'Tara% 2520Stiles% 2520Living'

How to enable it:

Tara Stiles Living 

Answer 1

Using:

 urllib.unquote(string) 

http://docs.python.org/library/urllib.html

Answer 2

You need to use urllib.unquote , but it seems you need to use it twice:

 >>> import urllib >>> s = 'Tara%2520Stiles%2520Living' >>> urllib.unquote(urllib.unquote(s)) 'Tara Stiles Living' 

After an incorrect request, your "% 2520" turns into "% 20", which without a doubt again turns into "" (space).

Answer 3

 >>> import urllib >>> s = 'Tara%2520Stiles%2520Living' >>> t=urllib.unquote_plus(s) >>> print t Tara%20Stiles%20Living >>> urllib.unquote_plus(t) 'Tara Stiles Living' >>> 

Answer 4

 import urllib s = 'Tara%2520Stiles%2520Living' t='' while s<>t: s,t=t,urllib.unquote(s)
