I've been working with an open source project that it not working correctly in Production but does work in Development. I believe I will need to refactor part of the project.

Hello, on "twill" documentation page it is written: By default, twill will run pages through tidy before processing them. This is on by default because the Python libraries that parse HTML are very bad at dealing with incorrect HTML, and will often return incorrect results on "real world" Web pages. To disable this f...
