Q: 

How to turn an encoded link such as "http%3A%2F%2Fexample.com%2Fwhatever" into "http://example.com/whatever" in python?

I always found links in html source stored in such format, the question is how do I change such links back to what it's normally like?

Thanks a lot!

+3  A: 

Use urllib.unquote
