Martin Panter added the comment:

The Python 3 documentation 
<https://docs.python.org/3/library/cgi.html#cgi.escape> says this is deprecated 
in favour of html.escape(), which by default has quote=True. AFAIK there is no 
equivalent in Python 2. See Issue 2830 for the addition of html.escape(), and 
also Issue 9061 about cgi.escape() introducing vulnerabilities.
