What exactly do you want to strip, all script and style elements? It should be something like:

''.join(BeautifulSoup(content).findAll(text=lambda text: 
text.parent.name != "script" and 
text.parent.name != "style"))

  • thats right, probably a regex replace could do that, but i was wondering if beautifulsoup handles tthat. Or does the "simple version of webstemmer" could do that too? – goh Jun 09 '10 at 01:42
