Comment 27 for bug 605543

@Foppe

That solution doesn't work for me. First it failed because the HTMLParser constructor doesn't take arguments, so it should be p = HTMLParser.HTMLParser(). But when I changed it to that I got the following error message:

Gwibber Dispatcher: ERROR <twitter:receive> Operation failed

It appears that HTMLParser.HTMLParser is not compatible with htmllib.HTMLParser. You say it works on your system, how is that possible? Did you make more changes to twitter.py?
