Team name contains named HTML entity instead of unicode representation

Question

Team name contains named HTML entity instead of unicode representation

Closed this issue 9 years ago · 1 comments

I am guessing it is because this team was just promoted last season. But for some reason the team name from the API is given as União Madeira instead of Uni\u00e3o Madeira or equivalent.

It doesn't print very nicely 😄

Uni&atilde;o Madeira    0    vs   0     Vitoria Guimaraes

It could be fixed with something like:

>>> from HTMLParser import HTMLParser
>>> h = HTMLParser()
>>> team = 'Uni&atilde;o Madeira'
>>> print team
Uni&atilde;o Madeira
>>> print h.unescape(team)
União Madeira

But don't think that is necessary since it is the only team name that contains a named HTML entity so I assume it is an error.

I have emailed the site owner about this issue.
