[Tutor] Exception repeated in a loop

[Jan Eden]

Hi,

I use the following loop to parse some HTML code:

for record in data:
    try:
        parser.feed(record['content'])
    except HTMLParseError, (msg):
        print "!!!Parsing error in", record['page_id'], ": ", msg

Now after HTMLParser encounters a parse error in one record, it repeats to execute the except statement for all following records - why is that?

!!!Parsing error in 8832 :  bad end tag: '</em b>', at line 56568, column 1647999
!!!Parsing error in 8833 :  bad end tag: '</em b>', at line 56568, column 1651394
!!!Parsing error in 8834 :  bad end tag: '</em b>', at line 56568, column 1654789
!!!Parsing error in 8835 :  bad end tag: '</em b>', at line 56568, column 1658184

Thanks.

Jan
