  the routine at the C level is

void
xmlStopParser(xmlParserCtxtPtr ctxt);

though I'm not sure it's properly handled by the HTML parser.

Seems to be generated as a class method for parsing context as expected:

paphio:~/XML -> grep stopParser python/libxml2.py
    def stopParser(self):

  In general you will have to fallback to the C documentation, C functions
are usually translated to method on python xml classes of one of the arguments
with the function name prefix stripped and first letter turned to lowercase.
