Answer 1

Try:

import html
html_string = "ampersand lt;div ampersand gt;\n ampersand lt;div ampersand gt; ampersand lt;span ampersand gt;Customer..".replace("ampersand ", "&")
html.unescape(html_string)

In case you are looking to maintain new lines:

html.unescape(html_string.replace("\n", "<br />"))
