New submission from yanne <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>:
It seems that HTMLParser.feed throws an exception whenever an attribute
name contains both quotation mark '&' and non-ascii characters.
Running the attached test file with Python 2.5 succeeds, but with Python
2.6, the result is:
C:\Python26>python.exe test.py
Without & in attribute
OK
With & in attribute
Traceback (most recent call last):
