[SOLVED] [Beautiful Soup] How to deprettify?

[Winfried]

For others' benefit, here's how to do it in Beautiful Soup:

import sys
import os
import glob
import shutil
from bs4 import BeautifulSoup

ROOT = r"c:\temp"
os.chdir(ROOT)
for file in glob.glob("*.html"):
	print("Handling ", file)

	#save original file
	ORIGFILE = fr"{file}.orig"
	#grab original times
	mtime = os.stat(file).st_mtime
	atime = os.stat(file).st_atime
	tup = (atime, mtime)
	dest = shutil.copyfile(file, ORIGFILE)
	os.utime(ORIGFILE, tup)

	#Remove all carriage returns
	with open(file, "r") as f:
		dna = f.read().replace("\n", "")

	#trim each string
	soup = BeautifulSoup(dna,"lxml")
	_ = [s.replace_with(s.text.strip()) for s in soup.find_all(string=True)]
	#save soup back to file
	with open(file, 'w', encoding='utf-8') as outp:
		outp.write(str(soup))
	#Must close before updating time
	os.utime(file, tup)
