I'm trying to make a html entities encoder/decoder on Python that behaves similar to PHP's htmlentities
and html_entity_decode
, it works normally as a standalone script:
My input:
Lorem ÁÉÍÓÚÇÃOÁáéíóúção @#$%*()[]<>+ 0123456789
python decode.py
Output:
Lorem ÁÉÍÓÚÇÃOÁáéíóúção @#$%*()[]<>+ 0123456789
Now if I run it as an Autokey script I get this error:
Script name: 'html_entity_decode'
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "/usr/local/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/autokey/service.py", line 454, in execute
exec script.code in scope
File "<string>", line 40, in <module>
File "/usr/local/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/autokey/scripting.py", line 42, in send_keys
self.mediator.send_string(keyString.decode("utf-8"))
File "/usr/lib/python2.7/encodings/utf_8.py", line 16, in decode
return codecs.utf_8_decode(input, errors, True)
UnicodeEncodeError: 'ascii' codec can't encode characters in position 6-12: ordinal not in range(128)
What am I doing wrong? Here's the script:
import htmlentitydefs
import re
entity_re = re.compile(r'&(%s|#(\d{1,5}|[xX]([\da-fA-F]{1,4})));' % '|'.join(
htmlentitydefs.name2codepoint.keys()))
def html_entity_decode(s, encoding='utf-8'):
if not isinstance(s, basestring):
raise TypeError('argument 1: expected string, %s found' \
% s.__class__.__name__)
def entity_2_unichr(matchobj):
g1, g2, g3 = matchobj.groups()
if g3 is not None:
codepoint = int(g3, 16)
elif g2 is not None:
codepoint = int(g2)
else:
codepoint = htmlentitydefs.name2codepoint[g1]
return unichr(codepoint)
if isinstance(s, unicode):
entity_2_chr = entity_2_unichr
else:
entity_2_chr = lambda o: entity_2_unichr(o).encode(encoding,
'xmlcharrefreplace')
def silent_entity_replace(matchobj):
try:
return entity_2_chr(matchobj)
except ValueError:
return matchobj.group(0)
return entity_re.sub(silent_entity_replace, s)
text = clipboard.get_selection()
text = html_entity_decode(text)
keyboard.send_keys("%s" % text)
I found it on a Gist https://gist.github.com/607454, I'm not the author.
