BeautifulSoup doesn't work so good with python 2.6 and up
http://www.crummy.com/software/BeautifulSoup/3.1-problems.html

instead of this:

Code:

from BeautifulSoup import BeautifulSoup
soup = BeautifulSoup(some_html)

do this:

Code:

import html5lib
parser = html5lib.HTMLParser(tree=html5lib.treebuilders.getTreeBuilder("beautifulsoup"))
soup = parser.parse(some_html)

you would need to have both BeautifulSoup and html5lib installed of course.
