If you have a link such as, e.g.:
<a href="index.py?title=Main Menu">Main menu!</a>
The space will be translated to the character code '%20' when you later
retrieve the GET data. Not knowing if there was a library function that
would convert these back to their actual characters, I've written the
following:
import re
def sub_func(m):
return chr(int(m.group()[1:], 16))
def parse_title(title):
p = re.compile(r'%[0-9][0-9]')
return re.sub(p, sub_func, title)
(I know I could probably use a lambda function instead of sub_func, but
I come to Python via C++ and am still not entirely used to them. This is
clearer to me, at least.)
I guess what I'm asking is: Is there a library function (in Python or
mod_python) that knows how to do this? Or, failing that, is there a
different regex I could use to get rid of the substitution function?
