How do you convert a Word Document into very simple html in Python? [closed]

Answer 1

My super-simple app WordOff has an API for cleaning up cruft from Word-exported HTML. You could override the save method of your flatpages model to pipe your HTML through the API the first time it gets saved. Something like this:

import urllib
import urllib2

def decruft(html):
    data = urllib.urlencode({'html' : html})
    req = urllib2.Request('http://wordoff.org/api/clean', data)
    response = urllib2.urlopen(req)
    return response.read()

def save(self, **kwargs):
    if not self.pk: # only de-cruft when content is first added
        self.content = decruft(self.content)
    super(FlatPage, self).save(**kwargs)
