[issue12629] HTMLParser silently stops parsing with malformed attributes
New submission from Kevin Stock : Given the input '', HTMLParser only detects the opening x tag, and then stops parsing. Ideally this should behave like the case '' which raises an error and then can continue parsing the close x tag. -- components: Library (Lib) files: test.py messages: 141051 nosy: teoryn priority: normal severity: normal status: open title: HTMLParser silently stops parsing with malformed attributes type: behavior versions: Python 3.2, Python 3.3 Added file: http://bugs.python.org/file22745/test.py ___ Python tracker <http://bugs.python.org/issue12629> ___ ___ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
[issue12629] HTMLParser silently stops parsing with malformed attributes
Kevin Stock added the comment: A workaround is to call close() after feed(), which I supposed I should have done anyways. However, this does not resolve the issue that the two cases behave so differently. The code that causes the difference is lines 351-355 of parser.py, which also has a misleading comment stating it detects the / in a /> ending (which is actually done at 334). -- ___ Python tracker <http://bugs.python.org/issue12629> ___ ___ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
