Replace "python" with "c++" and would that seem a reasonable belief?
(That said I'm a PyN00b)

Anyways, for all my HTML processing needs my first port of call has
been BeautifulSoup e.g.

soup = BeautifulSoup(html, convertEntities="html")
print soup.findAll(text=True)

Should be in the ballpark of what you want.
