HTML Parser for Jython

[Falcolas]

Does anybody know of a decent HTML parser for Jython? I have to do
some screen scraping, and would rather use a tested module instead of
rolling my own.

Thanks!

Not sure if it works, but have you tried BeautifulSoup? Or maybe an older
version of it?

Recent releases of BeautifulSoup need Python 2.3+, so they won't work on
current Jython, but BeatifulSoup 1.x will work.

There are the batteries-included HTMLParser[2] and htmllib[3]
modules, and the ever-popular (and more developer-friendly)
BeautifulSoup[4] library as the first three results. For running
BS in Jython, it's recommended[5] to use an older (1.x?) version
which are available at the BS site[6]
