How to decode an encoded email address with Python?

Question

What's the best way to decode the following string? I have a few emails that are being encoded. A sample encoded email is below.

encoded_string = "I&#110;fo&#064;dov&#101;rhou&#115;er&#101;&#115;or&#116;.c&#111;m"
decoded_string = "Info@doverhouseresort.com"

Just use module html

import html
encoded_string = "I&#110;fo&#064;dov&#101;rhou&#115;er&#101;&#115;or&#116;.c&#111;m"
decoded_string = html.unescape(encoded_string)
