Description: Named HTML entities are much neater and much easier to comprehend than numeric
        entities. And because they fall within the ASCII range, they're much safer to
        use in multiple contexts than Unicode and its various encodings (UTF-8 and
        such).
        
        This module helps convert from numerical HTML entites and Unicode characters
        that fall outside the normal ASCII range into named entities.
        
        Usage
        =====
        
        Python 2::
          
            from namedentities import named_entities
            
            u = u'both em\u2014and&#x2013;dashes&hellip;'
            print named_entities(u)
            
        yields::
        
            both em&mdash;and&ndash;dashes&hellip;
            
        Python 3::
        
            from namedentities import named_entities
            
            u = 'both em\u2014and&#x2013;dashes&hellip;'
            print(named_entities(u))
            # same result
        
        Or using the `six <http://pypi.python.org/pypi/six>`_ cross-version compatibility
        library, either one::
        
            from namedentities import named_entities
            import six
            
            u = six.u('both em\u2014and&#x2013;dashes&hellip;')
            six.print_(named_entities(u))
            # same result
        
        Recent Changes
        ==============
        
         * Repackaged as a Python package, rather than independent modules.
         
         * Now
           successfully packaged for, and tests against, against Python 2.5, 2.6, 2.7, 3.2, and 3.3,
           as well as PyPy 1.7 (based on 2.7.2). Mutomated multi-version testing managed with
           `pytest <http://pypi.python.org/pypi/pytest>`_
           and `tox <http://pypi.python.org/pypi/tox>`_.
           
        Notes
        =====
           
         * Doesn't attempt to encode ``&lt;``, ``&gt;``, or 
           ``&amp;`` (or their numerical equivalents) to avoid
           interfering with HTML escaping.
        
         * This is basically a packaging of `Ian Beck's work
           <http://beckism.com/2009/03/named_entities_python/>`_. Thank you, Ian!
        
        Installation
        ============
        
        ::
        
            pip install namedentities
        
        To ``easy_install`` under a specific Python version (3.3 in this example)::
        
            python3.3 -m easy_install namedentities
            
        (You may need to prefix these with "sudo " to authorize installation.)
