I'm processing tens of thousands of html files and a few of them contain
mismatched tags and ElementTree throws the error:
"Unexpected error opening J:/F2/663/blahblah.html: mismatched tag: line
124, column 8"
IMHO the best way to cleanse HTML files is to use tidy.
It is available for *nix and Windows and has a wealth of
options to control it's output. It can even converty html into
valid xhtml which ElementTree should be happy with.

It may not be Python but it's fast and effective!
And there is a Python wrapper:

although I've never used it.
