Hi,
I had sent this question below a couple of months ago but didn't receive any
replies. I forgot about it though, since I had moved on to using BeautifulSoup.
Now however, I am wondering why something like this is not present in the
standard lib. What is the accepted procedure to propose the inclusion of some
module in our beloved 'batteries included' library ?
I'd like to see this module (or something similar) included.
regards,
- steve

Hi,
After a long time, I decided to play with some web site scraping and realized
that for all the batteries included approach, the standard python lib (still)
does not have a simple to use html parser (ie: one which does not require one to
implement a class just to extract the url of a image tag) ...or does it ?
I like BeautifulSoup, which I used once long ago, but would prefer to use
something which is part of the standard lib. Is there a module that I completely
missed ? (btw, I'm using python-2.6. If not in 2.6 is there something in like
BeautifulSoup in 3.0 ?)
