Martin Panter added the comment: My thinking is that the knowledge that <img> does not have a closing tag is at a higher level than the current HTMLParser class. It is similar to knowing where the following HTML implicitly closes the <li> elements:
<ul><li>Item A<li>Item B</ul> In both cases I would not expect the HTMLParser to report “virtual” empty or closing tags. I don’t think it should report an empty <img/> or closing </img> tag just because that is easy to do, because it would be inconsistent with other implied HTML tags. But maybe see what other people say. I don’t know your particular use case, but I would suggest if you need to parse non-XML HTML <img> tags, use the handle_starttag() method and don’t rely on the end tag :) ---------- _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue25258> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
