Did you try searching this group? There were recent posts discussing
basic usage of HTMLParser.

Throwing random code together is the least likely way to actually get
it to work.

Why are you passing HTMLParser in to initialise MyHTMLParser?

Why are you iterating over site and expecting your instance of
MyHTMLParser to magically know about it?

Why haven't you read the urllib.urlopen docs, to see you need to do
a .read() to actually get the page data?

Why are you so resistant to reading some basic tutorials?
