This is a rather specific question and if you really just want tutorials why
don't you just google for them?
Or are you also asking in a roundabout way if anyone on the list has a
better idea for parsing broken html?  It would help if you would take the
time to explain how the html is broken and what exactly "lost of problems"
with BeautifulSoup were.  Also I think beautifulsoup is part of the Python
standardlib now, isn't it?  Why do you think it is not maintained?
