Linter fails in Python 3.5.0

[ResidentMario]

Unfortunately html_linter does not currently work with Python 3.5, returning the following error:

(mysite)Honorss-Air-2:templates Honors$ html_lint.py this_website.html

A quick Google search for the nature of this problem brought up this blog post, which seems to point to HTMLParseError having been deprecated in Python 3.5.0.

This commit was pushed to fix this issue for Django. My project uses Flask, though.

Hope to see this get fixed! In the meantime I am using online HTML validators and fixing post-facto, which is inelegant; for the meantime, does anyone know of a good workaround?

This was fixed in my fork, which is now the active one. https://github.com/sk-/html-linter/pull/4.

I will update the package on pypi in a few minutes.

hi, forgot the update?

Hi, the update should be there. It's version 0.2. I need to update the readme to specify that 3.5 is supported. But the package metadata already says so.

Did you grab the latest pypi version and checked the code is different than the one in github? Let me know. I will be on mobile only until next Monday. On Jan 6, 2016 11:40 AM, "Lasse Schuirmann" [email protected] wrote:
