Conversion of strings like \uXXXX in python

I have a string like uXXXX (representation) and I need to convert it into unicode.
I receive it from 3rd party service so python interpreter doesn’t convert it and I need conversion in my code.
How do I do it in Python?

>>> s
u'\u0e4f\u032f\u0361\u0e4f'

Method 1

>>> u'\u0e4f\u032f\u0361\u0e4f'.decode('unicode-escape')
u'u0e4fu032fu0361u0e4f'
>>> print u'\u0e4f\u032f\u0361\u0e4f'.decode('unicode-escape')

Method 2

There’s an interesting list of encodings supported by .encode() and .decode() methods. Those magic ones in the second table include the unicode_escape.

Method 3

Python3:

bytes("\u0e4f\u032f\u0361\u0e4f", "ascii").decode("unicode-escape")
