Summary: htmllib.HTMLParser.anchorlist problem

Initial Comment:
htmllib.HTMLParser.anchorlist is cleared when

__init__() is called but not when reset() is called. 

Processing more than one document with the same

instance accumulates anchors from all documents

processed in the list.



Arguably a feature not a bug, but it makes sense for

reset to clear whatever is initialized by __init__.



Here is an illustrative IDLE session:



Python 2.2.2 (#37, Oct 14 2002, 17:02:34) [MSC 32 bit

(Intel)] on win32

Type "copyright", "credits" or "license" for more

information.

IDLE 0.8 -- press F1 for help

>>> import htmllib

>>> import formatter

>>> p = htmllib.HTMLParser(formatter.NullFormatter())

>>> p.feed('<a href="http://www.python.org">Python</a>')

>>> p.anchorlist

['http://www.python.org']

>>> p.reset()

>>> p.feed('<a

href="http://sourceforge.net/">Sourceforge</a>')

>>> p.anchorlist

['http://www.python.org', 'http://sourceforge.net/']
