The WeaselWeb program has a Python module called htm2txt.py.  Maybe it
can be useful to you.
To test it simply type at the command line:

    Python htm2txt.py "Some Page.htm"

The module WeaselWeb.py has a couple of very simple methods of
downloading the page (on with ie+com and the other with urllib,
urlparse).
Download the source versions of WeaselWeb to get at them.

(But, if you have a Palm Pilot you may enjoy the binary one ;).
