> You're right. It is not a question of decoding a list but decoding a string. Never did anything before with string encoding. I've got it: I cannot use searchpos() to use with python. Searching positions must be done in python (p.e. finditer).

You can use searchpos() with Python. Searchpos searches strings in
buffer which *is* accessible through Python, vim.current.buffer[linenr
- 1] or vim.buffers[bufnr][linenr - 1]. Line numbers are returned by
searchpos.

When using Python-3 though prepare that `vim.current.buffer[linenr -
1]` may yield UnicodeDecodeError: because buffer is not guaranteed to
contain only valid &encoding strings. Using
`vim.bindeval('getline(%u)' % linenr)` you may get byte string without
encoding anything and thus without errors.
