python method to extract content (excluding navigation) from an HTML page

Question

Of course an HTML page can be parsed using any number of python parsers, but I\'m surprised that there don\'t seem to be any public parsing scripts to extract meaningful content

Answer 1

You might use the boilerpipe Web application to fetch and extract content on the fly.

(This is not specific to Python, as you only need to issue a HTTP GET request to a page on Google AppEngine).
