New submission from Tom Pinckney <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>: There is currently a private method inside of html.parser.HTMLParser to unescape HTML &...; style escapes. This would be useful to expose for other users who want to unescape a piece of HTML.
Additionally, many websites don't use proper unicode or iso-8859-1 encodings and accidentally use Microsoft Code Page 1252 extensions. I added code to map these to their appropriate unicode values. The unescaping logic was slightly simplified too. This is my first Python patch submission, so please let me know if I've done anything wrong. A new test case was also added for this functionality. ---------- components: Library (Lib) files: unescape.diff keywords: patch messages: 67102 nosy: thomaspinckney3 severity: normal status: open title: expose html.parser.unescape type: feature request versions: Python 2.6 Added file: http://bugs.python.org/file10383/unescape.diff __________________________________ Tracker <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> <http://bugs.python.org/issue2927> __________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
