The function to do this is html2text in stripogram.py (get it from Squishdot's
CVS on sourceforge, the one there actually works ;-)
However, for what you want the following regular expression-based function
should work fine (damn, you can't use re's in Python Scripts *grumble* *moan*
;-)

tagRegex = re.compile("<.*?>")

def striptags(self,s):    
    return tagRegex.sub("",s)

cheers,
