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

and decode it twice to get

id=184ff84d27c3613d&quality=medium

Python Solutions

Solution 1 - Python

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

Solution 2 - Python

Try this:

from urllib.parse import unquote
s = 'id%253D184ff84d27c3613d%26quality%3Dmedium'
unquote(unquote(s))

It will return:

> 'id=184ff84d27c3613d&quality=medium'
