python3-module object is not callable

Question

crawl.py. I try to port it to python3. I leave out all unnecessary details. Error:

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "crawl.py", line 44, in parseAndGetLinks
    self.parser = html.parser(AbstractFormatter(DumbWriter(StringIO())))
TypeError: 'module' object is not callable


import html.parser  
from formatter import DumbWriter, AbstractFormatter  
from io  import StringIO     

parser = html.parser(AbstractFormatter(DumbWriter(StringIO())))

html.parser is the module; you want the HTMLParser class in that module:

parser = html.parser.HTMLParser(AbstractFormatter(DumbWriter(StringIO())))

or more succinctly:

from html.parser import HTMLParser

parser = HTMLParser(AbstractFormatter(DumbWriter(StringIO())))
