[pypy-issue] [issue1149] BeautifulSoup aborts parsing on quotation errors

[chrysn]

chrysn <chrysn at fsfe.org> added the comment:

drilling down into BeautifulSoup made the cause of this issue obvious: bs4 uses 
lxml for parsing *if it is available* and falls back to another parser that 
handles said html code worse. lxml is not compatible with pypy due to cython 
code according to [1].
