This appears to be the same question as Python code to remove HTML tags from a string which points to Strip HTML from strings in Python

Copying the top answer from that question gives:

I always used this function to strip HTML tags, as it requires only the Python stdlib:

from HTMLParser import HTMLParser

class MLStripper(HTMLParser):
  def __init__(self):
    self.reset()
    self.fed = []
  def handle_data(self, d):
    self.fed.append(d)
  def get_data(self):
    return ''.join(self.fed)

def strip_tags(html):
  s = MLStripper()
  s.feed(html)
  return s.get_data()
