[New-bugs-announce] [issue25017] htmllib deprecated: Which library to use? Missing sane default in docs

[Thomas Guettler]

New submission from Thomas Guettler:

At the top of the htmllib module:


> Deprecated since version 2.6: The htmllib module has been removed in
> Python 3.


Source: https://docs.python.org/2/library/htmllib.html#module-htmllib


Newcomers need more advice: Which library should be used?

I know there are many html parsing libraries.

But there should be a sane default for newcomers.

Is there already an agreement of a sane default html parsing library?
