it is my error, the data is a sha string and it is not possible to get
the string back, unless you use rainbowtables or something of the sort.

Hello,
Can someone point me in the right direction. I would like to return the
string for the following:
Type "help", "copyright", "credits" or "license" for more information.
import base64, urllib
data = 'hL/FGNS40fjoTnp2zIqq73reK60%3D%0A'
data = urllib.unquote(data)
print base64.decodestring(data)
???Ը???Nzv̊??z?+?
What am I missing?
How is data created? Since it doesn't decode as you expect, either it
isn't base64 or there is some other processing needed. Do you have an
example of a data string where you know the desired decoded value?
