python删除html文本及子节点_Python代码从字符串中删除HTML标签

I have a text like this:

text = """

Title

A long text........

a link

"""

using pure Python, with no external module I want to have this:

>>> print remove_tags(text)

Title A long text..... a link

I know I can do it using lxml.html.fromstring(text).text_content() but I need to achieve the same in pure Python using builtin or std library for 2.6+

How can I do that?

解决方案

Using a regex

Using a regex you can clean everything inside <> :

import re

def cleanhtml(raw_html):

cleanr = re.compile('<.>')

cleantext = re.sub(cleanr, '', raw_html)

return cleantext

Using BeautifulSoup

You could also use BeautifulSoup additionnal package to find out all the raw text

You will need to explicitly set a parser when calling BeautifulSoup

I recommand "lxml" as mentionned in alternative answers (puch more robist than the default one (i.e available without additionnal install) 'html.parser'

from bs4 import BeautifulSoup

cleantext = BeautifulSoup(raw_html, "lxml").text

But it doesn't prevent you from using external libraries, so I recommend the first solution.
