urllib.parse.unquote_plus()

percent-encoding

Like unquote(), but also turns '+' into a space — for HTML form values and query strings.

Syntax

urllib.parse.unquote_plus(string, encoding='utf-8', errors='replace')

It pairs with quote_plus(). Do not apply it to a URL path: there '+' is a literal plus, and 'C++' turns into 'C' followed by two spaces. A literal plus in a form value arrives as %2B and is decoded correctly. parse_qs() and parse_qsl() already call it — do not apply it again.

Examples

from urllib.parse import unquote, unquote_plus
print(unquote_plus('a+b%20c'), '|', unquote('a+b%20c'))  # → a b c | a+b c
print(repr(unquote_plus('C++')))  # → 'C  '
print(unquote_plus('1%2B1'))  # → 1+1
