[web2py] View rendering stop swap of special HTML characters

[Mark Larsen]

I'm attempting to upgrade to a new version of web2py (1.69 to 1.89.4).

It seems that when the views are rendered now Web2py auto swaps any
special HTML characters.

For instance I have:

someJavascriptFunction({{=simplejson.dumps(aPythonVar)}});

This errors because the quotes in the aPythonVar are swapped with &quot

someJavascriptFunction({"key": 1});

How can I defeat this behavior?

Thanks,
Mark
