equivalent function in Python.

Here's a simple function based on Python's HTMLParser class. If you need
to reject only certain tags, you'll probably want to subclass
HTMLParser, but for simply stripping all tags, this works:

from HTMLParser import HTMLParser
def strip_tags(html):
result = []
parser = HTMLParser()
parser.handle_data = result.append
parser.feed(html)
parser.close()
return ''.join(result)

See the docs for more details on HTMLParser:
http://docs.python.org/lib/module-HTMLParser.html
