That it does, it works like this:
import libxml2
parse_options = libxml2.HTML_PARSE_RECOVER + libxml2.HTML_PARSE_NOERROR + libxml2.HTML_PARSE_NOWARNING
xml_document = libxml2.readDoc(junk_html, None, None, parse_options)
clean_xhtml = xml_document.getRootElement().serialize()
Note: this method of "cleaning" works by building an XML tree out of HTML, except that HTML is not XML, so non-closed tags such as <textarea></textarea> will get closed and the browser puts any HTML after the tag into the textarea on the screen, so don't use this if you still want to output to a browser.
EDIT: fixed formatting.
