Extracting text from HTML file using Python

Question

I\'d like to extract the text from an HTML file using Python. I want essentially the same output I would get if I copied the text from a browser and pasted it into notepad.

Answer 1

Best worked for me is inscripts .

https://github.com/weblyzard/inscriptis

import urllib.request
from inscriptis import get_text

url = "http://www.informationscience.ch"
html = urllib.request.urlopen(url).read().decode('utf-8')

text = get_text(html)
print(text)

The results are really good
