python-beautifulsoup4
Beautiful Soup is a Python HTML/XML parser designed for quick turnaround
projects like screen-scraping. Three features make it powerful:
* Beautiful Soup won't choke if you give it bad markup. It yields a parse tree
that makes approximately as much sense as your original document. This is
usually good enough to collect the data you need and run away
* Beautiful Soup provides a few simple methods and Pythonic idioms for
navigating, searching, and modifying a parse tree: a toolkit for dissecting a
document and extracting what you need. You don't have to create a custom
parser for each application
* Beautiful Soup automatically converts incoming documents to Unicode and
outgoing documents to UTF-8. You don't have to think about encodings, unless
the document doesn't specify an encoding and Beautiful Soup can't autodetect
one. Then you just have to specify the original encoding
Beautiful Soup parses anything you give it, and does the tree traversal stuff
for you. You can tell it "Find all the links", or "Find all the links of class
externalLink", or "Find all the links whose urls match "foo.com", or "Find the
table heading that's got bold text, then give me that text."
Valuable data that was once locked up in poorly-designed websites is now within
your reach. Projects that would have taken hours take only minutes with
Beautiful Soup.

- Update to 4.12.2:
* Fixed an unhandled exception in BeautifulSoup.decode_contents
and methods that call it. [bug=2015545]
- 4.12.1:
* This version of Beautiful Soup replaces setup.py and setup.cfg
with pyproject.toml. Beautiful Soup now uses tox as its test backend
and hatch to do builds.
* The main functional improvement in this version is a nonrecursive technique
for regenerating a tree. This technique is used to avoid situations where,
in previous versions, doing something to a very deeply nested tree
would overflow the Python interpreter stack:
1. Outputting a tree as a string, e.g. with
BeautifulSoup.encode() [bug=1471755]
2. Making copies of trees (copy.copy() and
copy.deepcopy() from the Python standard library). [bug=1709837]
3. Pickling a BeautifulSoup object. (Note that pickling a Tag
object can still cause an overflow.)
* Making a copy of a BeautifulSoup object no longer parses the
document again, which should improve performance significantly.
* When a BeautifulSoup object is unpickled, Beautiful Soup now
tries to associate an appropriate TreeBuilder object with it.
* Tag.prettify() will now consistently end prettified markup with
a newline.
* Added unit tests for fuzz test cases created by third
parties. Some of these tests are skipped since they point
to problems outside of Beautiful Soup, but this change
puts them all in one convenient place.
* PageElement now implements the known_xml attribute. (This was technically
a bug, but it shouldn't be an issue in normal use.) [bug=2007895]
* The demonstrate_parser_differences.py script was still written in
