[Python] Python cyrillic string encoding

I try to convert cyrillic string to readable format. I have the similar code for php and it work fine. But python was harder.

import re
from sys import getdefaultencoding

def decodeString(matches):
return chr(int(matches.group(0).lstrip('\\'), 8))

my_string = r'\320\222\321\213\320\263\321\200\321\203\320\267\320\272\320\260 \320\267\320\260\321\217\320\262\320\276\320\272'
decoded_string = re.sub(r'\\[0-7]{3}', decodeString, my_string)
print(decoded_string)

my_string2 = "\320\222\321\213\320\263\321\200\321\203\320\267\320\272\320\260 \320\267\320\260\321\217\320\262\320\276\320\272"
print(my_string2)

print(sys.stdin.encoding, sys.stdout.encoding)


Both these way return the same result:

ÐÑгÑÑзка заÑвок в 1C
ÐÑгÑÑзка заÑвок в 1C
utf-8 utf-8


Expected result - "Выгрузка заявок".
