It's actually debatable if BS is any better than lxml/libxml2 when parsing broken HTML, as lxml tends to tidy things up pretty well. The only major difference is in encoding detection, for which you can also use a separate tool like chardet: http://chardet.feedparser.org/ Stefan -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
