I am trying to write a file in python, and I can't find a way to decode a byte object before writing the file, basically, I am trying to decode this bytes string:
Les \xc3\x83\xc2\xa9vad\xc3\x83\xc2\xa9s
into this, which is the original text I'm trying to recover:
Les évadés
I tried using the .decode('utf-8') and encode('utf-8') but nothing seems to work...
I always get Les évadés
as a result...
I am using python 3.4.3
Anyone can help?
What you need to do is to decode and then encode:
--> Les évadés
