Hello all, i am using urllib.unquote_plus to unquote a string. Sometimes i get a strange string like for example "spolu%u017E%E1ci.cz" to unquote. Here the problem is that some application decided to quote a non-ascii character as %uxxxx directly, instead of using an encoding and quoting byte per byte.
Python (2.4.1) simply returns "'spolu%u017E\xe1ci.cz", which is likely not what the application meant. My question is, is this %u quoting a standard (i.e., urllib is in the wrong), is it not (i.e., the application is in the wrong and urllib silently ignores the '%u0' - why?), and most importantly, is there a simple workaround to get it working as expected?
