[New-bugs-announce] [issue6043] HTMLParseError derivation

[Fred Bayer]

New submission from Fred Bayer <python at bayerf.de>:

Acoording to documentation, only a few exceptions should inherit
directly from Exception, most should inherit from StandardError.
However, HTMLParser.HTMLParseError doesn't conform:

isinstance(HTMLParser.HTMLParseError("foo"),StandardError) --> False
