title: Regular Expression to remove html tags from a string in Python
body: <p>I am fetching my resut from a RSS feed using following code:</p>
  
  <pre><code>try:
      desc = item.xpath('description')[0].text
      if date is not None:
          desc =date +"\n"+"\n"+desc
  except:
      desc = None
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>But sometimes the description contains html tags inside RSS feed as below:</p>
  
  <blockquote>
    <p>This is samle text<p>&lt; img  src="http://imageURL" alt="" /></p></p>
  </blockquote>
  
  <p>While displaying the content I do not want any HTML tags to be displayed on page. Is there any regular expression to remove the HTML tags.</p>
