I am using the Requests module to access remote URLs. Sometimes I need
to URL-decode or URL-encode a string (via RFC 3986). Must I import
urllib or urllib2 just to use their quote() and unquote() methods?
Does not Requests have such an ability, and perhaps I just cannot find
it?
On Stack Overflow [1] I found this wonderful function:
def unquote(url):
return re.compile('%([0-9a-fA-F]{2})',re.M).sub(lambda m:
chr(int(m.group(1),16)), url)
I am already importing the 're' module so that is not an issue. I am
concerned, though, that this might not work for some non-ASCII
characters such as some esoteric symbols or Korean/Chinese/Japanese
characters.
