Flask和JSONify：转义字符

Question

I have a flask view which returns some JSON formatted data:

def myview():
    entities = get_my_entities()
    return jsonify({'entities': entities})

entities if a list of dictionaries; in each dictionary there is a value like http://example.com/get/<user_id>/12345678 where <user_id> is a placeholder where the user should insert an indentifier that that have been given (and which should not appear in the JSON result).

The problem is, the <user_id> gets escaped and appears as %3Cuser_id%3E . Is there a way to stop the characters getting escaped?

Thanks to Martijn. I'm using url_for to build the URLs, and its doing the escaping.
