New filter encoding? might be useful? international languages.

if f == 'utf-8':
    if issubclass(type(s), basestring):
        s = s.encode('utf8')

One could use a custom filter in a function?

Base href to add url automatically. within a filter?

What I'm trying and this time I liked. Sorry I did not spread but my English is very bad. use google translator

Thanks

yeah, this would be cool if you could pass an optional parameter to the scrape function. a dictionary of filter names -> filter functions

thanks

ps- adding as base href to a url is already possible with the 'abs' filter (though it might be better to rename this to be the 'url' filter; i'll think about it)

Done in an ugly way in my fork:

data = ['{{ foo|adda }}', '<a>hello</a>', {'foo':'helloa'}, {'processors':{'adda':self.adda} }]
    def adda(self, string):
        return string + "a"
    def assertScrape(self, pattern, input, output, kwargs={}):
        return self.assertEqual(scrape(pattern, html=input, **kwargs), output)

Currently works on data after the html has been removed.
