ImportError: cannot import name sanitizer when trying to run django

I hope this saves you a couple hours of headaches that I experienced recently.

If you get the dreaded error:

from html5lib import sanitizer, serializer, treebuilders, treewalkers
ImportError: cannot import name sanitizer

Never fear. The fix is easy once you know how. Add this exact line to your requirements file and redeploy:

html5lib<0.99999999

This will fix it.
