# This doesn't use Beautiful Soup (yet) because there's a Berlios case # BS may not be able to cope with. We'll check sometime. I wonder if he's having issues with 3.1.0 which frankly never worked for me (as clearly stated by the BS developer) when used on normal web sites.

Have you tried following the instructions on the BeautifulSoup site[1]? The HTML parser it depended on was removed from the Python standard library, and its replacement doesn't work as well at processing bad markup. You should install html5lib[2] and use it for parsing: import html5lib from html5lib.treebuilders import getTreeBuilder parser = html5lib.HTMLParser(tree=getTreeBuilder("beautifulsoup")) soup = parser.parse(open("mydocument.html")) [1] http://www.crummy.com/software/BeautifulSoup/3.1-problems.html http://www.crummy.com/software/BeautifulSoup/3.1-problems.ht...
