Unicode char replace

[DiMar]

Hi all,

I have this unicode string:

string = u'Macworld » Jobs 1 - Twitter 0'

and I want to replace the '»' (aka \xbb) char to '&raquo'.
I've tried 2 ways:

1.

>>string2 = string.replace( '\\xbb','&raquo ;')

u'Macworld \xbb Jobs 1 - Twitter 0'

2.

>>import cgi
>>string2 = cgi.escape(stri ng).encode("asc ii", "xmlcharrefrepl ace")
>>string2

'Macworld » Jobs 1 - Twitter 0'

None of them gives me 'Macworld » Jobs 1 - Twitter 0'

Any idea?

Thanks!

u'Macworld \xbb Jobs 1 - Twitter 0'

How about this?
string.replace( u'\xbb', u'»')

May I ask why?

Of course! I have to find that string into a list of strings. This
list includes one, using »
Thanks! :)
