Python-Markdown 1.7 released. Get the files here.
Release Notes:
Note that various features marked as depreciated in 1.6 have
been removed, so this release is somewhat backward
incompatible. Most notably, str(md) will no longer work.
md.convert(text) should be used instead. The toString
and toUnicode methods no longer exist. The __unicode__
method calls convert and __str__ returns some info about
the instance rather than the converted output (although I'm
open for suggestions for improvment in the info provided).
Additionally, the encoding argument has been removed from
both markdown and Markdown. Markdown expects unicode (or
ascii) input and it is the users responsibility to ensure
that's what is provided. Therefore, all output is in
unicode. Only markdownFromFile accepts an encoding.
