HTML to RTF string using Python

Question

I am looking for a way to convert HTML text to RTF string. Is there any libraries that does this job. I get html content dynamically in my project and need it to be rendered in

Answer 1

I see this question is over a year old, but figured I'd contribute anyway. I recently had a similar requirement, and turned to PyRTF, a small but powerful Python module that can construct RTF documents from a text file. You could use Beautiful Soup to scrape the HTML, going down the parse tree tag by tag, and use the PyRTF API to construct appropriate objects (table, cell, paragraph, section or document).

The API itself is quite granular, and allows for a whole bunch of custom formatting (font text, alignment, color, headers, footers etc.)

Hope this helps.
