[New-bugs-announce] [issue19688] pip install now fails with 'HTMLParser' object has no attribute 'unescape'

[Ned Deily]

New submission from Ned Deily:

7b9235852b3b for Issue2927 moved and documents the previously undocumented unescape function.  Unfortunately, at least one third-party module, distlib, depends on it.  And distlib is now used by pip and needed for the ensurepip feature of 3.4.

$ python3.4 get-pip.py
