>>> re.sub("<.*?>","",st)
" i think mabe 124 + but I don't have a big experience it just how I see it in my eyes fun stuff"

Answer 2

BeautifulSoup(text, features="html.parser").text 

Answer 3

import re
re.sub('<.*?>', '', string)
"i think mabe 124 + but I don't have a big experience it just how I see it in my eyes fun stuff"

The re.sub function takes a regular expresion and replace all the matches in the string with the second parameter. In this case, we are searching for all tags ('<.*?>') and replacing them with nothing ('').

The ? is used in re for non-greedy searches.
