Another solution is the builtin library xml.sax.saxutils (both for html and xml). However, it will convert only &gt, &amp and &lt.
```
from xml.sax.saxutils import unescape

escaped_text = unescape(text_to_escape)
```

You could find an answer here -- Getting international characters from a web page?

EDIT: It seems like BeautifulSoup doesn't convert entities written in hexadecimal form. It can be fixed:

import copy, re
from BeautifulSoup import BeautifulSoup

hexentityMassage = copy.copy(BeautifulSoup.MARKUP_MASSAGE)
# replace hexadecimal character reference by decimal one
hexentityMassage += [(re.compile('&#x([^;]+);'), 
                     lambda m: '&#%d;' % int(m.group(1), 16))]

def convert(html):
    return BeautifulSoup(html,
        convertEntities=BeautifulSoup.HTML_ENTITIES,
        markupMassage=hexentityMassage).contents[0].string

html = '<html>&#x01ce;&#462;</html>'
print repr(convert(html))
# u'\u01ce\u01ce'

EDIT:

unescape() function mentioned by @dF which uses htmlentitydefs standard module and unichr() might be more appropriate in this case.

The standard lib’s very own HTMLParser has an undocumented function unescape() which does exactly what you think it does:

up to Python 3.4:

import HTMLParser
h = HTMLParser.HTMLParser()
h.unescape('&copy; 2010') # u'\xa9 2010'
h.unescape('&#169; 2010') # u'\xa9 2010'

Python 3.4+:

import html
html.unescape('&copy; 2010') # u'\xa9 2010'
html.unescape('&#169; 2010') # u'\xa9 2010'

If you are on Python 3.4 or newer, you can simply use the html.unescape:
```
import html

s = html.unescape(s)
```

An alternative, if you have lxml:
```
>>> import lxml.html
>>> lxml.html.fromstring('&#x01ce').text
u'\u01ce'
```

This is a function which should help you to get it right and convert entities back to utf-8 characters.

def unescape(text):
   """Removes HTML or XML character references 
      and entities from a text string.
   @param text The HTML (or XML) source text.
   @return The plain text, as a Unicode string, if necessary.
   from Fredrik Lundh
   2008-01-03: input only unicode characters string.
   http://effbot.org/zone/re-sub.htm#unescape-html
   """
   def fixup(m):
      text = m.group(0)
      if text[:2] == "&#":
         # character reference
         try:
            if text[:3] == "&#x":
               return unichr(int(text[3:-1], 16))
            else:
               return unichr(int(text[2:-1]))
         except ValueError:
            print "Value Error"
            pass
      else:
         # named entity
         # reescape the reserved characters.
         try:
            if text[1:-1] == "amp":
               text = "&amp;amp;"
            elif text[1:-1] == "gt":
               text = "&amp;gt;"
            elif text[1:-1] == "lt":
               text = "&amp;lt;"
            else:
               print text[1:-1]
               text = unichr(htmlentitydefs.name2codepoint[text[1:-1]])
         except KeyError:
            print "keyerror"
            pass
      return text # leave as is
   return re.sub("&#?\w+;", fixup, text)
