pattern = '''<span class="medium item-label".*?>(.*)</span>''' 

website = urllib.urlopen(url)

    print record

Entonces la pregunta es ¿qué debo incluir en mi código en para transformar & # 39 en caracteres

Answer 1

En python2:

In [16]: text = 'Ex-NFL QB's sad condition' 

In [17]: import HTMLParser 

In [18]: parser = HTMLParser.HTMLParser() 

In [19]: parser.unescape(text) 
Out[19]: u"Ex-NFL QB's sad condition" 

En python3:

import html.parser as htmlparser 
parser = htmlparser.HTMLParser() 
parser.unescape(text)
