html special characters to latin-1 conversion

[ulrice jardin]

hi

I had a look to this htmlentitydefs lib, but I still
don't know how to convert html special characters into
latin-1 characters.
For instance, how can I convert ' into ' or é
and é into é?
Is there any function to do that?

thx for any help

Searching comp.lang.pytho n for 'htmlentitydefs ' gives quite a few solutions.

Here is one way:
