python字符串变量取消转义_如何在Python 3.1中的字符串中取消转义HTML实体？

I have looked all around and only found solutions for python 2.6 and earlier, NOTHING on how to do this in python 3.X. (I only have access to Win7 box.)

I HAVE to be able to do this in 3.1 and preferably without external libraries. Currently, I have httplib2 installed and access to command-prompt curl (that's how I'm getting the source code for pages). Unfortunately, curl does not decode html entities, as far as I know, I couldn't find a command to decode it in the documentation.

YES, I've tried to get Beautiful Soup to work, MANY TIMES without success in 3.X. If you could provide EXPLICIT instructions on how to get it to work in python 3 in MS Windows environment, I would be very grateful.

So, to be clear, I need to turn strings like this: Suzy & John into a string like this: "Suzy & John".

解决方案

You could use the function html.unescape:

In Python3.4+ (thanks to J.F. Sebastian for the update):

import html

html.unescape('Suzy & John')

# 'Suzy & John'

html.unescape('"')

# '"'

In Python3.3 or older:

import html.parser

html.parser.HTMLParser().unescape('Suzy & John')

In Python2:

import HTMLParser

HTMLParser.HTMLParser().unescape('Suzy & John')
