"""A simple "pull API" for HTML parsing, after Perl's HTML::TokeParser.

Examples

This program extracts all links from a document.  It will print one
line for each link, containing the URL and the textual description
between the <A>...</A> tags:

import pullparser, sys
f = file(sys.argv[1])
p = pullparser.PullParser(f)
for token in p.tags("a"):
    if token.type == "endtag": continue
    url = dict(token.attrs).get("href", "-")
    text = p.get_compressed_text(endat=("endtag", "a"))
    print "%s\t%s" % (url, text)

This program extracts the <TITLE> from the document:

import pullparser, sys
f = file(sys.argv[1])
p = pullparser.PullParser(f)
if p.get_tag("title"):
    title = p.get_compressed_text()
    print "Title: %s" % title

        entitydefs: mapping like {"amp": "&", ...} containing HTML entity
         definitions (a sensible default is used).  This is used to unescape
         entities in .get_text() (and .get_compressed_text()) and attribute
         values.  If the encoding can not represent the character, the entity
         reference is left unescaped.  Note that entity references (both

        maps from element names to either:

          - an HTML attribute name, in which case the HTML attribute value is
            used as its text value along with the element name in square
            brackets (eg."alt text goes here[IMG]", or, if the alt attribute
            were missing, just "[IMG]")
          - a callable object (eg. a function) which takes a Token and returns
            the string to be used as its text value

        If textify has no key for an element name, nothing is substituted for
        the opening tag.
