[Baypiggies] HTML code sets

Fri Oct 26 20:32:13 CEST 2007

I am reading some raw HTML that contains things like: 

"enforcing the nation\xe2\x80\x99s laws" 

and I need to know what incantation to apply to translate the xe2,x80,x99
into some kind of apostrophe char. I can initialize this string as str or
unicode.

The headers are:
'<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN"
"http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd">\n<html
xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml">\n<head>\n<meta
http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=ISO-8859-1" />\n

Thanks,
max
