Python html parsing that actually works

Question

I\'m trying to parse some html in Python. There were some methods that actually worked before... but nowadays there\'s nothing I can actually use without workarounds.

Answer 1

html5lib cannot parse half of what's "out there"

That sounds extremely implausible. html5lib uses exactly the same algorithm that's also implemented in recent versions of Firefox, Safari and Chrome. If that algorithm broke half the web, I think we would have heard. If you have particular problems with it, do file bugs.
