I even get the correct behaviour in 2.7.12:
Python 2.7.12+ (default, Sep 17 2016, 12:08:02)
[GCC 6.2.0 20160914] on linux2
Type "help", "copyright", "credits" or "license" for more information.
>>> from HTMLParser import HTMLParser
>>> class MyHTMLParser(HTMLParser):
... def handle_starttag(self, tag, attrs):
... print("Encountered a start tag: %s" % tag)
...
>>> parser = MyHTMLParser()
>>> parser.feed('<a href="http://somesite.com/large_image.jpg"><img src="http://somesite.com/small_image.jpg" width="800px" /></a>')
Encountered a start tag: a
Encountered a start tag: img
Ari, can you provide more info about the exact version and platform you are using?
