I just played with this in python-apt: >>> import apt_pkg >>> s="http://user2:p%40s%2fs%3aw...@localhost:3128" >>> apt_pkg.DeQuoteString(apt_pkg.QuoteString(s, '="\n')) 'http://user2:p...@s/s:w...@localhost:3128' >>> apt_pkg.DeQuoteString(apt_pkg.QuoteString(s, '="\n%')) 'http://user2:p%40s%2fs%3aw...@localhost:3128' >>> apt_pkg.DeQuoteString(apt_pkg.QuoteString(s, '="\n%')) == s True
