I'm using html5lib and after updating it to the latest version, I keep getting this error:
Traceback (most recent call last):

The code I'm using is very simple:
from lxml.html import html5parser
html5parser.document_fromstring(u'<html></html')
Any ideas?

Turns out that if you feed a unicode object to the document_fromstring method, it barfs. It didn't used to because this only happened when I updated my dependencies.
Anyway, the fix is easy:
html5parser.document_fromstring(u'<html></html'.encode('utf-8'))
