This was back in 2004 (or 2005) when I had written to him regarding BeautifulSoup as parser in HarvestMan. He advised me to derive a wrapper from SGMLParser and thats what I did. In case you are interested, you can check out the HTML parser used in HarvestMan. It is available at, http://harvestman-crawler.googlecode.com/svn/trunk/HarvestMan/harvestman/lib/pageparser.py > > On Thu, Sep 10, 2009 at 7:07 PM, Baishampayan Ghose <b.gh...@gmail.com>wrote: > >> > Can anyone suggest me a good library for html parsing in python ? >> > I googled a found few libararies BeautifulSoup, HTMLParser, SGMLParser >> etc. >> > >> > Can anyone suggest me which should I go for from your experience. >> >> BeautifulSoup was OK, but now it's broken.
