how to get rid of html tags

[Ian Bicking]

The easy answer:

page = re.sub(r'<.*?>', '', page)

There may be more Correct answers, though.  (Some HTML has unquoted <>
characters, which browsers accept even though it's super annoying to
parse -- but I don't know that htmllib parses improper HTML either)
