html5lib needs the tiny `webencodings` package and it is not installed. Run `python -m pip install webencodings` (or reinstall html5lib normally so pip resolves it). The import works right after.

## The error

```text
ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'webencodings'
```

## Fix it

1. **Install webencodings**

```
python -m pip install webencodings
```
Expected: `Successfully installed webencodings-...`.

2. **Confirm the chain**

```
python -c "import html5lib; print('ok')"
```
Expected: prints `ok`.

3. **If it recurs, reinstall html5lib with dependencies**

```
python -m pip install --force-reinstall html5lib
```
Expected: pip pulls webencodings back in as a declared dependency.

## When this applies

- `import html5lib` fails naming `webencodings`
- a `--no-deps` or partial install

## When it does NOT apply

- `No module named 'html5lib'` is the parent package missing

## Compatibility

html5lib 1.x declares webencodings as a dependency. webencodings itself is pure Python and dependency-free.

## Why it happens

webencodings is a small single-purpose package (character encoding labels) that html5lib imports at load. Normal installs always include it; its absence means the dependency set was disturbed the same way html5lib itself goes missing.

## Edge cases

- webencodings has had one release in years and is stable. Any version works.
