encoding string that has been decoded with %' to unicode

Question

html POST method decoded my string like this:

Ostrołęka => Ostro%C5%82%C4%99ka

How do I encode it into readable form in Python?

Sorry for possible duplicate.

EDIT: Solution in 'possible duplicate' doesn't solve above problem

That solution works for entities like `£` but not `%`-escaped values. For that, you want `urllib.unquote()`. — John Gordon, May 05 '17 at 19:40

Python 2:

from urllib import unquote
x = unquote('Ostro%C5%82%C4%99ka')

Python 3:

from urllib.parse import unquote
x = unquote('Ostro%C5%82%C4%99ka')

I'm using Python3.6: AttributeError: module 'urllib' has no attribute 'unquote' – May 05 '17 at 19:43

In python3 it is `urllib.parse.unquote` – John Gordon May 05 '17 at 19:46
