Python 3: Write newlines to HTML

Question

I have upgraded to Python 3 and can't figure out how to convert backslash escaped newlines to HTML.

The browser renders the backslashes literally, so "\n" has no effect on the HTML source. As a result, my source page is all in one long line and impossible to diagnose.

Answer 1

normally I do like this s=s.replace("\n","<br />\n")

because

<br /> is needed in web page display and

\n is needed in source display.

just my 2 cents

Answer 2

The solution is:

#!/usr/bin/python 
 import sys 
 def print(s): return sys.stdout.buffer.write(s.encode('utf-8'))
 print("Content-type:text/plain;charset=utf-8\n\n") 
 print('晉\n')
