When I try to execute a python program from command line, it gives the following error. These errors do not cause any problem to my ouput. I dont want it to be displayed in the commandline
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "test.py", line 88, in <module>
p.feed(ht)
File "/usr/lib/python2.5/HTMLParser.py", line 108, in feed

k = self.parse_starttag(i)

endpos = self.check_for_whole_start_tag(i)

self.error("malformed start tag")

raise HTMLParseError(message, self.getpos())

How could I suppress the errors?
Doesn't catching HTMLParseError work for you? If test.py is the name of your python file, it's propagated up to there, so it should.
Here's an example how to suppress such an error. You might want to tweak it a bit to match your code.
try:
# Put parsing code here
except HTMLParseError:
pass
You can also just suppress the error message by redirecting stderr to null, like Ignacio suggested. To do it in code, you can just write the following:
import sys
class DevNull:
def write(self, msg):
pass
sys.stderr = DevNull()
However, this is probably not be what you want, because from your error it looks like the script execution is stopped, and you probably want it to be continued.
Redirect stderr to /dev/null.
python somescript.py 2> /dev/null
In python 3, @Boaz Yaniv's answer can be simplified as
sys.stderr = object
since every class in python3 is inherited from Object, so technically this would work, at least I've tried it by myself in python 3.6.5 environment.
