Conversion errors (encoding?)
Trying to convert an html file, I get the following exception:

Code:
Job: **Convert book: ###############** **tuple**: ('ValueError', u'unichr() arg not in range(0x10000) (narrow Python build)') **Traceback**: Traceback (most recent call last): File "parallel.py", line 928, in worker File "parallel.py", line 886, in work File "C:\Program Files\calibre\library.zip\calibre\ebooks\lrf\any\convert_from.py", line 192, in main File "C:\Program Files\calibre\library.zip\calibre\ebooks\lrf\any\convert_from.py", line 162, in process_file File "C:\Program Files\calibre\library.zip\calibre\ebooks\lrf\html\convert_from.py", line 1918, in process_file File "C:\Program Files\calibre\library.zip\calibre\ebooks\lrf\html\convert_from.py", line 273, in __init__ File "C:\Program Files\calibre\library.zip\calibre\ebooks\lrf\html\convert_from.py", line 387, in add_file File "C:\Program Files\calibre\library.zip\calibre\ebooks\lrf\html\convert_from.py", line 330, in preprocess File "calibre\ebooks\BeautifulSoup.pyo", line 1432, in __init__ File "calibre\ebooks\BeautifulSoup.pyo", line 1055, in __init__ File "calibre\ebooks\BeautifulSoup.pyo", line 1084, in _feed File "calibre\__init__.pyo", line 382, in entity_to_unicode ValueError: unichr() arg not in range(0x10000) (narrow Python build) **Log**: Processing u'calibre_0.4.106_f8it75.html' Parsing HTML...

The source encoding (according to the html meta) is Latin-1 (ISO-8859-1). Anybody knows what causing this error?

This is caused byt he HTML file having numerical entities with numbers that are not valid in the specified encoding. Numerical entites are of the form &1234; or &x1234; Where the numbers could be anything

Thanks for answering.

There are, indeed, quite a few of these spread throughout the file, but Opera and FF reads it just fine.
How do I change it? Is there a program that will convert it for me to some other encoding?
