obj = web2pyHTMLParser(text) parses and html/xml text into web2py helpers. obj.tree contains the root of the tree, and tree can be manipulated

>>> str(web2pyHTMLParser('hello<div a="b" c=3>wor&lt;ld<span>xxx</span>y<script/>yy</div>zzz').tree)
'hello<div a="b" c="3">wor&lt;ld<span>xxx</span>y<script></script>yy</div>zzz'
>>> str(web2pyHTMLParser('<div>a<span>b</div>c').tree)
'<div>a<span>b</span></div>c'
>>> tree = web2pyHTMLParser('hello<div a="b">world</div>').tree
>>> tree.element(_a='b')['_c']=5
>>> str(tree)
'hello<div a="b" c="5">world</div>'
