Are you still talking about the spaces issue here? Replacing literal spaces with "%20" does not break standards because literal spaces are illegal in the first place. IOW, this simple fix makes illegal URLs standards-compliant. No, I'm not going to add this to the Python parser since I maintain JPluck, but I don't think a simple substitution is that hard to do in Python. The reality is that most HTML pages on the web are broken in one way or another. I agree with Tony and favor a pragmatic approach over "pure" compliance. You have to look at problems on a case-by-case basis. In this instance a simple search-and-replace will help parsing quite a number of broken pages - with no side-effects. A win-win situation as far as I can see. Discussion the "standards" issue to death is not going to help. The lines are drawn anyway.
