[web2py] How to parse quoted '%20' RESTfully to web2py?

[Alec Taylor]

I can't figure out how to parse url quoted inputs to web2py. Here is my
attempt:

from HTMLParser import HTMLParserfrom urllib2 import quote, unquote

@service.jsondef get_group():
    search_for = unquote(HTMLParser.unescape.__func__(HTMLParser,
args[0]).encode('ascii', 'ignore'))
    our_groups_found = db.our_groups(search_for)
    return dict(our_groups=(our_groups_found or db.our_groups(name=args[0])))

How am I meant to do this?

Thanks for all suggestions,

Alec Taylor
