The Code Below Can Encode A String To Utf-8 :
#!/usr/bin/python
# -*- coding: utf-8 -*-
str = 'ورود'
print(str.encode('utf-8'))
That Prints:
b'\xd9\x88\xd8\xb1\xd9\x88\xd8\xaf'
But I can't Decode This String With This Code :
#!/usr/bin/python
# -*- coding: utf-8 -*-
str = b'\xd9\x88\xd8\xb1\xd9\x88\xd8\xaf'
print(str.decode('utf-8'))
The error is:
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "C:\test.py", line 5, in
print(str.decode('utf-8'))
AttributeError: 'str' object has no attribute 'decode'
Please Help Me ...
Edit
From the answers switched to a byte string:
#!/usr/bin/python
# -*- coding: utf-8 -*-
str = b'\xd9\x88\xd8\xb1\xd9\x88\xd8\xaf'
print(str.decode('utf-8'))
Now the error is:
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "C:\test.py", line 5, in
print(str.decode('utf-8'))
File "C:\Python34\lib\encodings\cp437.py", line 19, in encode
return codecs.charmap_encode(input,self.errors,encoding_map)[0]

解决方案
It looks like you're using Python 3.X. You .encode() Unicode strings (u'xxx' or 'xxx'). You .decode() byte strings b'xxxx'.
#!/usr/bin/python
# -*- coding: utf-8 -*-
s = b'\xd9\x88\xd8\xb1\xd9\x88\xd8\xaf'
# ^
# Need a 'b'
#
print(s.decode('utf-8'))
Note your terminal may not be able to display the Unicode string. Mine Windows console doesn't:
Python 3.3.5 (v3.3.5:62cf4e77f785, Mar 9 2014, 10:35:05) [MSC v.1600 64 bit (AMD64)] on win32
Type "help", "copyright", "credits" or "license" for more information.
>>> s = b'\xd9\x88\xd8\xb1\xd9\x88\xd8\xaf'
>>> # ^
... # Need a 'b'
... #
... print(s.decode('utf-8'))

But it does do the decode. '\uxxxx' represents a Unicode code point.
>>> s.decode('utf-8')
'\u0648\u0631\u0648\u062f'
My PythonWin IDE supports UTF-8 and can display the characters:
>>> s = b'\xd9\x88\xd8\xb1\xd9\x88\xd8\xaf'
>>> print(s.decode('utf-8'))

You can also write the data to a file and display it in an editor that supports UTF-8, like Notepad. since your original string is already UTF-8, just write it to a file directly as bytes. 'wb' opens the file in binary mode and the bytes are written as is:
>>> with open('out.txt','wb') as f:
... f.write(s)
If you have a Unicode string, you can write it as UTF-8 with:
>>> with open('out.txt','w',encoding='utf8') as f:
... f.write(u) # assuming "u" is already a decoded Unicode string.
P.S. str is a built-in type. Don't use it for variable names.
Python 2.x works differently. 'xxxx' is a byte string and u'xxxx' is a Unicode string, but you still .encode() the Unicode string and .decode() the byte string.
