Yeah, the error is thrown by HTMLParser, TAG is build on top of it.
I will try some other tools like Beautifull Soup.
Thanks.

No, TAG is only a basic parser and not robust against errors in the HTML.
You should probably use a more sophisticated tool, such as Beautiful Soup
(which is built on top of the lxml and html5lib parsers). The standard
library also includes the HTMLParser module, but you may run into similar
problems with that.

I am trying to parse a HTML with the TAG helper from a fetched URL using
urllib.
The HTML is broken in some parts, it has end span tags without respective
start span tags.
TAG helper gives error: unable to balance span tag.
I tested it. Open tags not closed are parsed, but not closed tags without
open.
Would be there a work around for this?
