I&#39;ve used BeautifulSoup to get plain text out of rendered HTML dumps. Its slow and doesn&#39;t work that well. What you really want to do it right is an actual mediawiki parser to strip the syntax out for you.<br><br>Try this one: <a href="http://code.pediapress.com/wiki/wiki">http://code.pediapress.com/wiki/wiki</a><br>

Hi Felipe,<br>
<br>
I&#39;ve found Beautiful Soup to be a useful Python-based HTML parser.<br>
