384	HTMLParser does not work with comments that include non-ascii characters	robert.hoelzl@…	cmlenz	"Hello,

When parsing a a HTML file, that contains a comment with a non-ascii character (like ""<!-- \xF6 -->"") the HTMLParser() object throws an UnicodeDecodeError.

The reason for this bug is in module genshi.input.py / class HTMLParser / method handle_comment:

current implementation:

    def handle_comment(self, text):
        self._enqueue(COMMENT, text)

correct implementation:

    def handle_comment(self, text):
        if not isinstance(text, unicode):
            text = text.decode(self.encoding, 'replace')
        self._enqueue(COMMENT, text)
