Validating HTML from Python

I've used tidy, and some 'tidied' files still produced
errors at the w3c validator, so while helpful, it's not
a perfect fit. The purpose of tidy isn't really to
validate either, but to ... tidy. But I admit that the
files that didn't go through the w3c validator had produced
warnings... Maybe tidy could do.

I'm still interested in a simple HTML validator that isn't
q web service though. Isn't there any validating SGML
parser that could do this?
