Python 3: How to convert unicode text in original form?

Question

I am getting text in form Al\\\\u0027sPlace which actually is Al's Place. Same is for ‘â\x80\x94

How do I get Al's Place in original form?

Answer 1

Seems like it encoded with unicode-escape encoding twice; reverse it.

>>> text = 'Al\\\\u0027sPlace'
>>> text.encode().decode('unicode-escape').encode().decode('unicode-escape')
"Al'sPlace"
