Answer 1

You have a string in cp1251, there may be problems with this.

In [1]: import urllib
In [3]: print urllib.unquote('%D0%E0%E7%E4%EE%F0%FB')

In [4]: print urllib.unquote('%D0%E0%E7%E4%EE%F0%FB').decode('cp1251')

Or:

from django.http import QueryDict
x = QueryDict('location=%D0%E0%E7%E4%EE%F0%FB&page=04rent&way=1&filtr=1')
x.get('location')
