How Do I Convert A Path In Ascii Hex Code, To Its Equivalent Ascii Letters?

I am trying to use the following path in Python: /home/user/Music/library/1-02%2520Maralito.mp3 The file name is: '1-02 Maralito.mp3' So the space is being converted to the code %2

Solution 1:

This string has been URL-encoded twice. The %25 represents a % character. The %20 resulting from decoding the %25 represents a space.

urllib.parse.unquote (just urllib.unquote in Python 2) decodes the % encoding, and you will want to decode it twice:

t = "/home/user/Music/library/1-02%2520Maralito.mp3"from urllib.parse import unquote   # Python 3from urllib import unquote         # Python 2print(unquote(unquote(t)))
