convert html entities into real chars

[Laszlo Nagy]

Hi,

I would like to have a function that can convert '>' into '>',
'&' into '&' etc. I could not find how to do it easily (I have a
code snippet for the opposite).
Thanks,

Laszlo

You can use htmlentitydefs module to help with this.

import htmlentitydefs

chr(htmlentitydefs.name2codepoint['gt'])

and (to go the other way)

htmlentitydefs.codepoint2name[ord('>')]
