Wow. That's short and to the point. I like it.
A few issues:
(1) It doesn't seem to be reversible:
>>> '© and many more...'.decode('latin-1')
u'© and many more...'
What should I do instead?
(2) Are XML entities guaranteed to be the same as HTML entities?
(3) Is there a way to find out at runtime what encoders/decoders/error
handlers are available, and what they do?
Thanks,
