Nick Coghlan added the comment:
Current cryptic incantation that requires deep knowledge of the encoding system
to follow:
data = data.encode("latin-1").decode("utf-8", "surrogateescape")
Replacement that is not only more self-documenting, but also gives you
something specific to look up in order to learn more:
data = wsgiref.util.fix_encoding(data, "utf-8")
As a WSGI server, the standard library code mostly does this in the other
direction, converting data from its original web server provided encoding *to*
latin-1.
