[mod]_python: is there an equivilent to php's nl2br?
 
I'm getting some text fields from a database that have newlines. Is there a simple way to convert the newlines to <br>\n in [mod_]python?

I don't know if there is a builtin one, but it is easily made:
Code:
def nl2br(s):
    return '<br />\n'.join(s.split('\n'))

That's pretty clean. I like it.

Thanks!
