Is there a way to urlencode/urldecode a string in Python? I want to emphasize that I want a single string, not a dict. I know of the function that does that to a dict. I could easily construct out of it a function that does that for a string, but I'd rather not have to construct my own function. Does Python have this functionality built-in?
(Answers for both Python 2.7 and 3.3 would be appreciated.)
See the urllib module (docs here), in particular the urllib.quote and urllib.unquote functions.
urllib.unquote will do the trick
Use urllib.unquote and urllib.quote in Python
Example:
from urllib.parse import unquote
url='''search%20%60mic_conf-proxy-ui%60%20%22TEST--4b43d04c-1ba4-4d74-8596-25b68d255b3e%22'''
output=unquote(url)
print(output)
#search `mic_conf-proxy-ui` "TEST--4b43d04c-1ba4-4d74-8596-25b68d255b3e"
