[New-bugs-announce] [issue20662] Pydoc doesn't escape parameter defaults in html

[Serhiy Storchaka]

New submission from Serhiy Storchaka:

Pydoc doesn't escape parameter defaults in generated html files. For example for the socket.__init__() method in the socket module following html code is generated:

<dl><dt><a name="socket-__init__"><strong>__init__</strong></a>(self, family=<AddressFamily.AF_INET: 2>, type=<SocketType.SOCK_STREAM: 1>, proto=0, fileno=None)</dt></dl>

As result <AddressFamily.AF_INET: 2> and <SocketType.SOCK_STREAM: 1> aren't visible in browser (they are illegal html tags).
