I converted a string

body = 'e n=C3=A3o =C3=A9 o =C3=BAnico autor a poder aceit=C3=A1-la'

with

bodys = bodys.encode('utf-8')

but I still see the garbled characters "=C3=A9"

this is a string parsed from an email body via IMapClient module.
Would you know if there is a way to convert to readable characters?

many thanks!

You have a quopri (quoted printable) string there.

To get a text string out of that you must:

>>> import codecs
>>> s = 'e n=C3=A3o =C3=A9 o =C3=BAnico autor a poder aceit=C3=A1-la'
>>> s_binary = s.encode('UTF-8')
>>> s_binary
b'e n=C3=A3o =C3=A9 o =C3=BAnico autor a poder aceit=C3=A1-la'
>>> s_utf8 = codecs.decode(s_binary, 'quopri')
>>> s_utf8
b'e nxc3xa3o xc3xa9 o xc3xbanico autor a poder aceitxc3xa1-la'
>>> s_text = s_utf8.decode('UTF-8')
>>> s_text
'e não é o único autor a poder aceitá-la'

Or putting it all together:

>>> codecs.decode(s.encode('UTF-8'), 'quopri').decode('UTF-8')
'e não é o único autor a poder aceitá-la'
