how to remove text between [removed] and [removed] using python?

Question

how to remove text between using python?

Answer 1

Element Tree is the best simplest and sweetest package to do this. Yes, there are other ways to do it too; but don't use any 'coz they suck! (via Mark Pilgrim)

Answer 2

If you don't want to import any modules:

string = "<script> this is some js. begone! </script>"

string = string.split(' ')

for i, s in enumerate(string):
    if s == '<script>' or s == '</script>' :
        del string[i]

print ' '.join(string)

Answer 3

You can use BeautifulSoup with this (and other) methods:

soup = BeautifulSoup(source.lower())
to_extract = soup.findAll('script')
for item in to_extract:
    item.extract()

This actually removes the nodes from the HTML. If you wanted to leave the empty <script></script> tags you'll have to work with the item attributes rather than just extracting it from the soup.
