[pygtk] Problem in fetching Unicode from URL and displaying it in PyGTK widget

[saeed]

Another way:

data = '&#xE1'
uni = unichr(int(data[3:], 16))
st = uni.encode('utf-8')

> thanks saeed! that works great! how can i make this work if the character to be converted is found between characters. e.g. Guzán ?

s1 = 'Guzán'
s2 = ''
n = len(s1)
i = 0
while i<n:
  if i<n-6:
    if s1[i:i+3]=='&#x' and s1[i+5]==';':
      s2 += unichr(int(s1[i+3:i+5], 16)).encode('utf-8')
      i += 6
      continue
  s2 += s1[i]
  i += 1
print s2
