HTMLParser versions

I've got a code that uses HTMLParser . I prefer python version
Python 2.7.3 (default, Sep 26 2012, 21:51:14)
[GCC 4.7.2] on linux2

because it reads the html cleanly.


These python versions detect error
html.parser.HTMLParseError: malformed start tag, at line 1993, column 565


2.6.6 (r266:84292, Apr 3 2012, 13:01:54)
[GCC 4.4.6 20110731 (Red Hat 4.4.6-3)]
and
Python 3.2.3 (default, Oct 19 2012, 19:53:16)
[GCC 4.7.2] on linux2

HTML source.


I suppose the answer is "install python 2.7 on the redhad system, dumbhead". The code also works with python3 using the strict=False option. HTMLParser.__init__(self,strict=False)

Thanks, Dave.

Update, several python versions ARE available to me without installation. Installation would have been slow since I have to use cron jobs to run programs, and I make SO many typos.

python2
python2.6
python2.7
python3

Thanks, I think this problem is solved.
