	print(quopri.decodestring('=F1=E8=18'))
or:
	sys.stdout.write(quopri.decodestring('=F1=E8=18'))

If you type an expression into the interactive Python interpreter, the
result is converted to a string using repr(); for strings, this converts
8-bit characters to their hexadecimal escape sequences, so that the result
only uses ASCII.

OTOH, the print statement converts values to strings using str(); for
strings, this is an identity operation (i.e. it returns the original
string untouched). Similarly, the .write() method of file objects uses str().
