Give lxml.etree (or lxml.html) a try:
tree = etree.parse("http://url.to/some.html";, etree.HTMLParser())
body = tree.find("body")
and then:
div = etree.Element("div", {"class" : "remapped"})
div.extend(body)
body.append(div)
or alternatively:
children = list(body)
div = etree.SubElement(body, "div", {"class" : "remapped"})
div.extend(children)

and for lxml.html, which is currently in alpha status:
http://codespeak.net/lxml/dev/
ET 1.3 will also support the extend() function, BTW.
