Unicode char replace

Hi all,

I have this unicode string:

string = u'Macworld » Jobs 1 - Twitter 0'

and I want to replace the '»' (aka \xbb) char to '&raquo'.
I've tried 2 ways:

1.
>>> string2 = string.replace('\\xbb','»')
u'Macworld \xbb Jobs 1 - Twitter 0'

2.
>>> import cgi
>>> string2 = cgi.escape(string).encode("ascii", "xmlcharrefreplace")
>>> string2
'Macworld » Jobs 1 - Twitter 0'

None of them gives me 'Macworld » Jobs 1 - Twitter 0'

Any idea?

Thanks!

So I assume you *want* it to produce ». May I ask why?
I really recommend that you use » instead.

In any case, you need to define your own error handler, such as
the one in

How about this?
string.replace(u'\xbb', u'»')

Of course! I have to find that string into a list of strings. This
list includes one, using »
Thanks! :)
