Hi. I want to convert html file file1.html to file1.tex. The html file contains   .

How can i write an python script as a filter to remove non-breaking space (&nbsp)?

This is my code:

    #!/usr/bin/env python
    
    """
    Pandoc filter to removing &nbsp; string from the text
    """
    
    from pandocfilters import toJSONFilter, Para
    
    def debug(content):
    file = open('debug.txt', 'w')
    for item in content:
    file.write("%s\n" % item)
    
    def nbsp(key, value, format, meta):
    uniString = unicode(value, "UTF-8")
    uniString = value.replace("&nbsp;", " ")
    
    return uniString
    
    if __name__ == "__main__":
    toJSONFilter(nbsp)

but calling command:

pandoc file1.html --filter ./nbsp.py -o file1.tex

give me some errors.
