Convert HTML to plain text

[Adrián Ribao]

Hello everybody,

I need to convert HTML to plaintext, can this be done with
beautifulsoup?

Thank you!

see if this works 


from  BeautifulSoup  import  BeautifulSoup
import urllib 
soup = BeautifulSoup(urllib.urlopen("http://www.crummy.com/software/BeautifulSoup/documentation.html").read())

print  "".join(soup.findAll(text=True))

IMO this does not handle namespaces etc  but kind of quuick solution
