Use htmllib:
>>> import htmllib, formatter, StringIO
>>> def cleanup(s):
out = StringIO.StringIO()
p = htmllib.HTMLParser(
formatter.AbstractFormatter(formatter.DumbWriter(out)))
p.feed(s)
p.close()
if p.anchorlist:
print >>out
for idx,anchor in enumerate(p.anchorlist):
print >>out, "\n[%d]: %s" % (idx+1,anchor)
return out.getvalue()
>>> print cleanup('''<div><h1>Title</h1><p>This is a <br
/>test</p></div>''')
Title
This is a
test
>>> print cleanup('''<div><h1>Title</h1><p>This is a <br />test with <a
href="http://python.org";>a link</a> to the Python homepage</p></div>''')
Title
This is a
test with a link[1] to the Python homepage
