html =

>>> parser.feed(html)
Traceback (most recent call last):

raise HTMLParseError(message)
htmllib.HTMLParseError: unexpected '<' char in declaration
the error is generated by unclosed DOCTYPE declaration
what is the best way to handle this kind of document. should I use
regex to check and strip, or does HTMLParser offers something? , can i
override default sgmllib behaviour
I have to work with this htmllib because of existing modules .
thanks
