While using this wrapper for the first time I noticed that a. its readme was not rendering on PyPI (see for yourself) and b. that it was using some external dependencies when there was no need to:
xml.etree.ElementTree can be used instead of lxml.etree, and the accelerated implementation will be used if possible since Python 3.3
json is simplejson but integrated to the standard library since Python 2.6, which is deprecated, so there is no need to depend on it externally
html.parser could probably be used instead of html5lib, but because behaviours may differ I actually didn't remove that one
