How do I decode escaped unicode javascript code in Python?

Question

I have this string:

V posledn\\u00edch m\\u011bs\\u00edc\\u00edch se bezpe\\u010dnostn\\u00ed situace v Libyi zna\\u010dn\\u011b zhor\\u0161ila, o \\u010dem\         


        

Answer 1

Decode it using the 'unicode-escape' codec. If x is your string, x.decode('unicode-escape').
