Attributeerror: module 'html.parser' has no attribute 'htmlparseerror'

Question

Problem :

I am new to HTMLParser my terminal showing me below error :-

from django.utils.html import format_html, format_html_join, escape
File "/usr/local/lib/python3.5/dist-packages/django/utils/html.py", line 16, in
from .html_parser import HTMLParser, HTMLParseError
File "/usr/local/lib/python3.5/dist-packages/django/utils/html_parser.py", line 12, in
HTMLParseError = _html_parser.HTMLParseError
AttributeError: module 'html.parser' has no attribute 'HTMLParseError'

My Configuration is Python 3.5, Django 1.7.7 also using pip3

I have researched on it  some experts are saying HTML parser is removed on a Python 3.5 version.

So how can I fix this?

Should I replace the HTMLParser with some other similar?

Or should I try to downgrade the python ?

Can someone help on this issue?

I have gone through your question. Please go through my solution on your issue.

You should go with python 3.4.

If you are currently using the Ubuntu then you can install python 3.4 very easily with the help of below instruction.

If you prefer to install your packages using a APT package manager then my suggestion to you is installing it from the well-known PPA that should provide you a long list of versions of Python for long list of Ubuntu versions.

You can add a deadsnakes PPA if you want then you can read more about it at https://launchpad.net/~deadsnakes/+archive/ubuntu/ppa:

sudo add-apt-repository ppa:deadsnakes/ppa

Now you can install the python3.4 with help of below commands:

sudo apt-get update

sudo apt-get install python3.4

After installing it now you can create the virtualenv with python 3.4 as below

$ virtualenv .env -p /usr/bin/python3.4

$ source .env/bin/activate
