Follow-up Comment #1, bug #32936 (project librefm):
The problem is caused by a weird comment: <!–[if IE]><![endif]–> (with
en-dashes instead of two hyphen-minuses) on line 9 of every last.fm page.
Removing this no-op comment makes everything work again.
I believe the attached patch is trivial enough so you can accept it without a
copyright assignment. (And if not, it's trivial to write from scratch.)
I filed a bug in BeautifulSoup at
https://bugs.launchpad.net/beautifulsoup/+bug/744278 – if that gets fixed no
workarounds are necessary.
Also, BeautifulSoup 3.2 works. Lastscrape's README should be updated
accordingly.
