Let's say I send a request with Javascript:

fetch("/query?q=" + encodeURIComponent("c'est un château? Yes & no!"));

to a Python Bottle server:

from bottle import Bottle, request
app = Bottle("")
@app.route("/query")
def query():
 q = request.query.get("q") # how to decode it?
 print(q)
app.run() 

How to decode request.query.get("q") so that it extracts the encodeURIComponent encoding?

Note: In this example, the ? and & are correctly decoded, but the â is not: print(q) gives c'est un château? Yes & no!
