Use urllib.unquote to decode %-encoded string:

>>> import urllib
>>> url = u'/static/media/uploads/gallery/Marrakech%2C%20Morocco_be3Ij2N.jpg'
>>> urllib.unquote(url)
u'/static/media/uploads/gallery/Marrakech, Morocco_be3Ij2N.jpg'

Using urllib.quote or urllib.quote_plus, you can get back:

>>> urllib.quote(u'/static/media/uploads/gallery/Marrakech, Morocco_be3Ij2N.jpg')
'/static/media/uploads/gallery/Marrakech%2C%20Morocco_be3Ij2N.jpg'

Note that in Python 3 this is in the module urllib.parse.

If you are using Python3 you can write

urllib.parse.unquote(url)
