Yes it is, in some cases. There are "forgiving" HTML parsers out there, HTMLParser does not strive to be one. There are *so many* cases where HTML is a bit malformed that it takes more than just two exceptions to get it right. It's for a reason that browsers' parsers are so complex. If you add these corner cases, people will come asking for this exception, and that one, etc. ---------- status: open -> pending _______________________________________ 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
