I didn't know at all was Beautifulsoup does; reading doc for the first

superior to pyquery? When I needed
xml parsing, I found pyquery simple and so similar to jQuery that I didn't
found any problem while using it.
Beautifulsoup takes crappy formatted html/xml/*ML, doesn't choke and
outputs it properly formatted.
Can someone please tell me why we need to patch Beautifulsou? Can't we
just fix it upstream?

Thanks Maarten, so BS is one more module that I don't need. Really I use
pywikipedia in a personal, exotic way - running only some basic scripts, an
approach similar to wikitools. I'll try to remove from my compat folder any
unused script - I suppose that the result will be surprising. :-)
PyQuery is interesting since it's so similar to jQuery - a big advantage
for me; but I see that BS is something deeply different.
