[New-bugs-announce] [issue40873] Something wrong with html.unescape()

[Валентин Dreyk]

New submission from Валентин Dreyk <dreyksmail at gmail.com>:

import html
import xml.sax.saxutils as saxutils

print(saxutils.unescape("&reghard"))  # &reghard
print(html.unescape("&reghard"))  # ®hard



html.unescape() replace "&reg" to "®" even without ";" at the end.
