A. I *think* you meant
import re
from htmlentitydefs import name2codepoint
def htmlentitydecode(s):
return re.sub('&(%s);' % '|'.join(name2codepoint), lambda m:
chr(name2codepoint[m.group(1)]), s)
We're stretching the limits of what's comfortable
for me as a one-liner.
B. How's it happen this isn't in the Cookbook? I'm
curious about what other Pythoneers think: is
this better memorialized in the Cookbook or the
Wiki?
