News You Can Bruise for 2005 April 10

After much last-minute tweaking of Python and CSS, Beautiful Soup 2.0 is released! I really outdid myself this time. Still in one file, much better at parsing bad HTML, has pretty-printer, lots of idiomatic shortcuts for writing more concise code, lots of documentation. And, in contradiction of Leonard's Immutable Law of Open Source Software, it's not plugin-based. Go for it. No Python 1.5 support in this one, unfortunately.
