Fixed escaping HTML entities within strings behavior change in python-beautifulsoup 3.2.1 #14

Hello, in this beautifulsoap revision http://bazaar.launchpad.net/~leonardr/beautifulsoup/3.2/revision/44 there is a behavior change to escape XML entities within strings. A detailed description is here: https://bugs.launchpad.net/beautifulsoup/+bug/949074 I'm using this patch in the official Debian package for pyth to make test_readxhtml.py not fail (see http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=678754).

Kind regards, Daniele Tricoli

This looks good, thanks. I'll try to do a minor release with this and other recent changes in the next few days.

Hello Brendon, thanks for working on it so fast! I will try to get the next release packaged in time for Debian Wheezy, but Debian will freeze on June 30th, so maybe time is too little.

Cheers, Daniele Tricoli
