While this is wrongly formated html, I've spotted such an example on real website on the web, and all browsers handle the bad tag gracefully, while the python html parser throws an exception with "bad end tag", I think additional info in end tag should be ignored, no exception thrown and rest of the page parsed. I'm including minimal example. |

Which version of python did you test with? There have been several improvements html parsing recently. |

I just tested your script on 3.2.3a2+, and it raises an error. Ezio made the other parsing changes, I'll leave it to him to evaluate what if anything should be done here. |

This is already fixed, but only in non-strict mode (and 3.2.3 iirc). You should always use HTMLParser(strict=False). The non-strict mode will probably become the default and strict=True will be deprecated. Thanks anyway for the report, and please report any failure that you might find with strict=False. |
