One of the objectives of Beautiful Soup is to make parsing fairly easy. 
Its certainly easier than most of the other HTML parsers out there!


But parsing is not a trivial task regardless of the tool you use, 
especially something like HTML (which is what the web is made up of!) 
which is loosely defined and even more loosely implemented/used.

What do you mean by "web parser"? The web (world wide web) is a network 
on the internet, you can't parse it. Do you mean a parser for HTML files?


If you want to learn about parsing, then you should start with something 
simpler than HTML. If you want to learn about HTML, start with a good 
book or tutorial about HTML. There are dozens of them.


Before we can advise you properly, you need to explain what it is you 
actually want to do.
