EDIT. Looks like your string is encoded in such a way that “
(LEFT DOUBLE QUOTATION MARK) becomes \x93
and ”
(RIGHT DOUBLE QUOTATION MARK) becomes \x94
. There is a number of codepages with such a mapping, CP1250 is one of them, so you may use this:
s = s.decode('cp1250')
For all the codepages which map “
to \x93
see here (all of them also map ”
to \x94
, which can be verified here).
