Please explain what "this" is trying to accomplish, and we can tell
you how to do it in Python3. Are you trying to convert from Unicode to
Latin1 and back to Unicode?

  Python 3.8.6 (default, Jan  2 2021, 20:25:58)
  [GCC 9.3.0] on linux
  Type "help", "copyright", "credits" or "license" for more information.
  >>> 'gebuchte Umsätze;'.encode('latin1').decode('latin1')
  'gebuchte Umsätze;'
