[Web App]:urllib.parse.unquote is not a attribute

I'm working on a forum-ish web app. I keep getting the error

Sorry about the error formatting

I have also importted urllib.parse

I may have spotted the error. Running a dir of urllib.parse returns

['DefragResult', 'DefragResultBytes', 'MAX_CACHE_SIZE', 'ParseResult', 'ParseResultBytes', 'Quoter', 'ResultBase', 'SplitResult', 'SplitResultBytes', '_ALWAYS_SAFE', '_ALWAYS_SAFE_BYTES', '_DefragResultBase', '_NetlocResultMixinBase', '_NetlocResultMixinBytes', '_NetlocResultMixinStr', '_ParseResultBase', '_ResultMixinBytes', '_ResultMixinStr', '_SplitResultBase', '__all__', '__builtins__', '__cached__', '__doc__', '__file__', '__loader__', '__name__', '__package__', '__spec__', '_asciire', '_coerce_args', '_decode_args', '_encode_result', '_hexdig', '_hextobyte', '_hostprog', '_implicit_encoding', '_implicit_errors', '_noop', '_parse_cache', '_portprog', '_safe_quoters', '_splitnetloc', '_splitparams', '_typeprog', 'clear_cache', 'collections', 'namedtuple', 'non_hierarchical', 'parse_qs', 'parse_qsl', 'quote', 'quote_from_bytes', 'quote_plus', 're', 'scheme_chars', 'splitattr', 'split

The last part is complete for some reason

It works fine in the console but doesn't work in the web app. The python versions are matching.

Are you somehow overwriting urllib.parse in your web app? Maybe you have another module that you've called urllib? Maybe you're assigning a variable to urllib or urllib.parse (possibly accidentally)?

Is that dir above of urllib.parse in the web app or from the console? Compare the dirs from the 2 envrionments. Also try looking at urllib.file and urllib.parse.file in both environments.

I've checked over my code for overwritting. The dirs seem fine when I output them on the webpage but I haven't tested urllib.file yet. Thanks though! I'm posting this from my main account.

Seems to be the same. I don't know why it keeps saying unqoute is not a attribute though.

I took the python 3 code from here

deleted-user-4144979 | 22 posts | Nov. 3, 2018, 4:47 a.m. | permalink

The function is called unquote but your error message says

AttributeError: module 'urllib.parse' has no attribute 'unqoute'

-- note the transposed 'o' and 'u'.

My bad

No problem -- glad we could help, anyway.
