How to Decode HTML Entities in Python String?

When parsing HTML with Beautiful Soup 3, HTML entities often appear and need to be decoded. This can be done using the html.unescape() or HTMLParser.unescape() function.

Python 3.4

Use html.unescape():

import html
html.unescape('£682m')

Python 2.6-3.3

From HTMLParser in Python 2.6-2.7 or html.parser in Python 3, unescape():

from html.parser import HTMLParser
parser = HTMLParser()
print(h.unescape('£682m'))

Alternatively, with the six compatibility library:

from six.moves.html_parser import HTMLParser
parser = HTMLParser()
print(h.unescape('£682m'))
