UserWarning Import Error

[jlo]

Hello,

I'm trying to suppress parsing error like the following:

/Users/REDACTED/Library/Python/3.9/lib/python/site-packages/bs4/builder/_htmlparser.py:102: UserWarning: expected name token at '<![��H�\x05�"��V��\x06u��@' time:  0:52:19.475862                        warnings.warn(msg)

I found this solution on Stackexchange that sounded perfect, but it appears that UserWarning no longer exists:

>>> from bs4 import UserWarning
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "<stdin>", line 1, in <module>
ImportError: cannot import name 'UserWarning' from 'bs4' (/Users/REDACTED/Library/Python/3.9/lib/python/site-packages/bs4/__init__.py)

Can UserWarning still be imported?

Thanks.

UserWarning is a Python built-in exception and doesn't need to be imported at all. You can just write UserWarning.

>>> UserWarning
<class 'UserWarning'>

It's possible that in earlier versions UserWarning was present in bs4/__init__.py, and it would have been  possible to import UserWarning from that module, but I can't see any version where that is the case, and if so, it would have only worked by accident.

This is perfect. Thank you!
