Python 3 function to convert "Д" to string

Question

The task is to convert Де to Де. Does Python 3 has builtin function or I need to parse this string and then use builtin chr method to convert each number to string?

You can use the html.unescape function:

import html

text = '&#1044;&#1077;'
result = html.unescape(text)

Thank you very much. It works as I expected. – Artem Rys Mar 02 '17 at 13:21
interesting usage of bold there, it must be a pain to type, though :-) – Dimitris Fasarakis Hilliard Mar 02 '17 at 13:22

@JimFasarakis-Hilliard: well after some 100 posts you can do it automatically. Furthermore you can program it into the Advantage Kinesis keyboard :) – Willem Van Onsem Mar 02 '17 at 13:24

In python 3.4 and above, you can use html.unescape:

>>> import html
>>> print(html.unescape('&#1044;&#1077;'));
