that is one of my question that it been troubling me. why is replace
have a special treatment in dealing with escape characters while other
function such as print does the exact thing which escapes the character.
if i follow it correctly replace should only see one backslash to be
inserted in the string instead of two.

i have found this post in python mailing list:

     http://mail.python.org/pipermail/python-list/2007-May/614590.html.

But I want the exact opposite from that post. from HTML entries to
Unicode. so there must be some way to reverse that function. correct?
