@PeYoTIL使用BeautifulSoup并删除样式和脚本内容的回答对我来说并不管用。我尝试用分解代替提取，但它仍然没有工作。所以我创建了自己的格式文本使用<p>标签和替换<a>标签与href链接。也处理文本内的链接。可在此主旨与测试文档嵌入。

from bs4 import BeautifulSoup, NavigableString

def html_to_text(html):
    "Creates a formatted text email message as a string from a rendered html template (page)"
    soup = BeautifulSoup(html, 'html.parser')
    # Ignore anything in head
    body, text = soup.body, []
    for element in body.descendants:
        # We use type and not isinstance since comments, cdata, etc are subclasses that we don't want
        if type(element) == NavigableString:
            # We use the assumption that other tags can't be inside a script or style
            if element.parent.name in ('script', 'style'):
                continue

            # remove any multiple and leading/trailing whitespace
            string = ' '.join(element.string.split())
            if string:
                if element.parent.name == 'a':
                    a_tag = element.parent
                    # replace link text with the link
                    string = a_tag['href']
                    # concatenate with any non-empty immediately previous string
                    if (    type(a_tag.previous_sibling) == NavigableString and
                            a_tag.previous_sibling.string.strip() ):
                        text[-1] = text[-1] + ' ' + string
                        continue
                elif element.previous_sibling and element.previous_sibling.name == 'a':
                    text[-1] = text[-1] + ' ' + string
                    continue
                elif element.parent.name == 'p':
                    # Add extra paragraph formatting newline
                    string = '\n' + string
                text += [string]
    doc = '\n'.join(text)
    return doc

我发现的最好的一段代码提取文本没有javascript或不想要的东西:

from urllib.request import urlopen
from bs4 import BeautifulSoup

url = "http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/health/2284783.stm"
html = urlopen(url).read()
soup = BeautifulSoup(html, features="html.parser")

# kill all script and style elements
for script in soup(["script", "style"]):
    script.extract()    # rip it out

# get text
text = soup.get_text()

# break into lines and remove leading and trailing space on each
lines = (line.strip() for line in text.splitlines())
# break multi-headlines into a line each
chunks = (phrase.strip() for line in lines for phrase in line.split("  "))
# drop blank lines
text = '\n'.join(chunk for chunk in chunks if chunk)

print(text)

你只需要安装BeautifulSoup:

pip install beautifulsoup4

注意:NTLK不再支持clean_html函数

下面是原始答案，评论部分有备选答案。

使用NLTK

我浪费了4-5个小时来修复html2text的问题。幸运的是我遇到了NLTK。 它神奇地起作用。

import nltk   
from urllib import urlopen

url = "http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/health/2284783.stm"    
html = urlopen(url).read()    
raw = nltk.clean_html(html)  
print(raw)

我知道这里已经有很多答案了，但我认为newspaper3k也值得一提。我最近需要完成一个类似的任务，即从网络上的文章中提取文本，到目前为止，这个库在我的测试中完成了出色的工作。它忽略菜单项和边栏中的文本，以及OP请求时出现在页面上的任何JavaScript。

from newspaper import Article

article = Article(url)
article.download()
article.parse()
article.text

如果你已经下载了HTML文件，你可以这样做:

article = Article('')
article.set_html(html)
article.parse()
article.text

它甚至有一些NLP功能来总结文章的主题:

article.nlp()
article.summary

如果您需要更高的速度和更低的准确性，那么您可以使用原始lxml。

import lxml.html as lh
from lxml.html.clean import clean_html

def lxml_to_text(html):
    doc = lh.fromstring(html)
    doc = clean_html(doc)
    return doc.text_content()

另一种选择是通过基于文本的web浏览器运行html并转储它。例如(使用Lynx):

lynx -dump html_to_convert.html > converted_html.txt

这可以在python脚本中完成，如下所示:

import subprocess

with open('converted_html.txt', 'w') as outputFile:
    subprocess.call(['lynx', '-dump', 'html_to_convert.html'], stdout=testFile)

它不会精确地为您提供HTML文件中的文本，但根据您的用例，它可能比html2text的输出更好。
