Paweł Widera <mo...@man.poznan.pl> added the comment: It depends whether you want a HTMLParser to be an useful tool that can deal with real world HTML or just a toy without practical meaning. Crashing on every little deviation from the standard, where more relaxed approach is possible, doesn't sound to me as a reasonable choice.
Maybe guess is not a proper word... If the standard strict approach fails, the parser should fall back to a less strict one in an attempt to actually parse the document. Throwing an exception and giving up is just not good enough. Can we have somebody else commenting on this one please? ---------- status: closed -> open _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue6191> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
