Convert XML/HTML Entities into Unicode String in Python [duplicate]

by

The standard lib’s very own HTMLParser has an undocumented function unescape() which does exactly what you think it does:

up to Python 3.4: 

import HTMLParser
h = HTMLParser.HTMLParser()
h.unescape('© 2010') # u'\xa9 2010'
h.unescape('© 2010') # u'\xa9 2010'

Python 3.4+:

import html
html.unescape('© 2010') # u'\xa9 2010'
html.unescape('© 2010') # u'\xa9 2010'
