Question

I am trying to convert an html block to text using Python.

Input:

Answer 1

soup.get_text() outputs what you want:

from bs4 import BeautifulSoup
soup = BeautifulSoup(html)
print(soup.get_text())

output:

Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetuer adipiscing elit. Aenean commodo ligula eget dolor. Aenean massa
Consectetuer adipiscing elit. Some Link Aenean commodo ligula eget dolor. Aenean massa
Aenean massa.Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetuer adipiscing elit. Aenean commodo ligula eget dolor. Aenean massa
Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetuer adipiscing elit. Aenean commodo ligula eget dolor. Aenean massa
Consectetuer adipiscing elit. Aenean commodo ligula eget dolor. Aenean massa

To keep newlines:

print(soup.get_text('\n'))

To be identical to your example, you can replace a newline with two newlines:

soup.get_text().replace('\n','\n\n')
