Shouldn't a named entity  "vbar"  or "vline" be part of dict in 
htmlentitydefs.py?

Thanks,

Andreas

The docs describe the entitydefs mapping as "A dictionary mapping XHTML 1.0 entity definitions to their replacement text in ISO Latin-1".

Neither 'vbar' nor 'vline' seem to be part of the xhtml entity definitions (https://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/dtds.html).

The entitydefs mapping does include 'brvbar' (broken vertical bar), and in Python 3.3+ html.entities.html5 provides 'vert;'

With 2.7 now at end-of-life, I'm closing the issue.  Thanks for the report anyway!
