How to get Exact file instead of encrypted in ir.attachemts [Odoo][CE][12.0]

Question

I uploaded a file as attachment through *ir.attachments*  model.
I am able to locate that file locally location which is
/.local/share/Odoo/filestore/mydb/0c/0c45faf5b09ce9b7c9fbb6bd1a7787f24d24ab8
How to get the exact file in exact format which i uploaded which is *my_file.shp *instead of this encrypted file because i wanted to do some manipulation/processing on this file through *python* code.
I wanted to decrypt this file back to original format and extension with a path associated with it.

You can retrieve the name of the encrypted file in the filestore using the Odoo database.
In the table *ir.attachments*, there are columns named *checksum *​and *name *that allow you to establish the connection between those.
Based on your example, you could have done this:
SELECT name
FROM ir_attachment
WHERE checksum='0c45faf5b09ce9b7c9fbb6bd1a7787f24d24ab8'
The field  *name * would have been: my_file.shp.
