It is great that Fredrik Lundh's ElementTree is now a part of the Python Standard Library.
However, Is it correct that if you want to use xml.etree.ElementTree to parse an HTML Document that you will have to install a separate HTMLTreeBuilder (e.g. TidyHTMLTreeBuilder) and that the only TreeBuilder objects that come with the Standard Library is the one for XML source? Seems like some kind of HTMLTreeBuilder ought to be included by default. For a script I'm doing which deals with HTML, I thought I could jettison lxml and use xml.etree instead, but since I would need to have to ask the end-user to install an external library anyways even if I use xml.etree, I switched back to lxml. -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
