#2842: configure fails to detect missing HTMLParser
-------------------------+-------------------------
 Reporter:  marisn       |      Owner:  grass-dev@…
     Type:  defect       |     Status:  new
 Priority:  normal       |  Milestone:  7.1.0
Component:  Compiling    |    Version:  svn-trunk
 Keywords:               |        CPU:  Unspecified
 Platform:  Unspecified  |
-------------------------+-------------------------
 Seems that Python module HTMLParser is a requirement to compile GRASS 7
 trunk. Still configure part will give no warning if it is missing. If it
 is required, it should be tested during configure phase. If it is
 optional, compilation should not fail in case of its absence.

 Example of failure message:
 {{{
