pythonic parsing of URL

[GreenH]

I get some string as below from a library method (qt3
QDropEvent.data()) I use.
file:///C:/Documents%20and%20Settings/Username/My%20Documents/45-61-Abc%20fold-%20den.vru

I need file path on my system, for the above example:
C:/Documents and Settings/Username/My Documents/45-61-Abc fold-
den.vru

I am doing the below, it doesn't look pythonic,
can someone suggest any elegant solution, which is not too cryptic to
understand? yep, I do care about readability of the code to average
python user :)

--------------------
 tmpTuple = urlparse.urlparse(fileURLname)

tmpString = tmpTuple[2].strip('/\\')

fileName = urllib.unquote(tmpString)

#For some reason the string contained in 'fileName' has some
unprintable trailing characters, Any ideas on that?
#thus I do below

fileName = fileName.split('.vru')[0] + '.vru'
--------------------

Thanks,
Greene.
