Is there a library function to replace characters with html-code? [python]

Question

It is required in the finished lines to replace the characters with the corresponding html-code.

for example:

rules = {
    '<':'&lt;',
    '>':'&gt;'
}

Rather than doing this, consider using something that manipulates a DOM and letting it encode the output. — Brad, Sep 24 '18 at 14:02

Since python 3.2 there is the html module with is escape function.

For example

>>> import html
>>> html.escape("5 > 3")
'5 &gt; 3'
