[Tutor] Convert man file into readable text file

[Mico Siahaan]

I'm a newbie. I want to make a python script to convert a man file into a 
readable text file so I can edit it with a text editors.

So far, I made this:

import string
fin = open("wget.man","r")
fout = open("wget.test","w")

while 1:
         line = fin.readline()
         if line == "":
                 break
         for ch in line:
                 if ch not in string.printable:
                         idx = line.find(ch)
                         temp = line[:idx] + line[idx+1:]
                         newline = temp
                 else:
                         newline = line
         fout.write(newline)

fin.close()
fout.close()

And it gives a wrong result. I understand it is because I don't understand 
the structure of man files.
Can anyone give me a correct example, please? Thanks.
