[New-bugs-announce] [issue31865] html.unescape does not work as per documentation

[Jun Hui Lee]

New submission from Jun Hui Lee <cardinleejh at gmail.com>:

html.unescape(s)
Convert all named and numeric character references (e.g. >, >, &x3e;)

But running this gives:
>>> html.unescape('>, >, &x3e;')
'>, >, &x3e;'
