New submission from Henry Zhu <zhuhe...@163.com>: `urllib.parse.unquote_to_bytes` should have an "escape plus" option, just like `urllib.parse.unquote_plus` does.
It's very necessary in some cases: ``` # Say I have a url string: 'a+%2b%c0'. # In Python2, I can parse it into b'a +\xc0' with urllib.unquote_plus. # Note that the first "+" was escaped into space, and the second "+" was decoded from "%2b". # But in Python3, this just can't be done, either with urllib.parse.unquote, urllib.par.unquote_plus or urllib.parse.unquote_to_bytes. # This is the example: >>> from urllib import parse >>> s = 'a+%2b%c0' >>> parse.unquote(s) 'a++�' >>> parse.unquote_plus(s) 'a +�' >>> parse.unquote_to_bytes(s) b'a++\xc0' ``` PS: the character "�" should be "À", but it can't be shown in command line. The result of `urllib.parse.unquote_to_bytes` is almost what I want, except that it doesn't escape the first "+" into space. ---------- components: Library (Lib) messages: 328786 nosy: Henry Zhu priority: normal severity: normal status: open title: urllib.parse.unquote_to_bytes: needs "escape plus" option type: enhancement versions: Python 3.5, Python 3.6, Python 3.7 _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <https://bugs.python.org/issue35100> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
