HTMLParser is pretty basic, although it may be sufficient for your
needs. It just converts an html document into a stream of start tags,
end tags, and text, with no guarantee that the tags will actually
correspond in any meaningful way. lxml can be used to output an
actual hierarchical structure that may be easier to manipulate and
extract data from.
