That's not HTML.  It's XML.  You CAN parse this with the SGMLParser
(since XML is a variant of SGML), but you might consider whether you
would be better served using xmllib, or even xml.sax.

Of course.  Just change your ParserHTML class to create a list in "def
__init__", then append the values that you get to the list instead of
printing them.  So, for example:

class ParserHTML(SGMLParser):
    def __init__(self):
        SGMLParser.__init__(self)
        self.results = []
    ...
    def handle_data(self, data):
        ...
        self.results.append(data)
    ...
if __name__ == '__main__':
    ...
    p = ParserHTML()
    p.feed(node)
    print p.results
