As the title says, I'm curious why isn't BeautifulSoup4 used for html parsing. The only reason I can think of is potential performance considerations, but even then I'd think the benefits that bs4 would bring would outweigh whatever performance loss may result.
Would there be any objections to using beautifulsoup4 and implementing a set of utility functions mirroring the existing ones in text.py for example?
