Did you try Beautiful soup, as suggested in the reply you got the 1st

sorry, nevermind, you did put forth some effort

myhtml=r'<tr class="rulesbody"> <td width="183"
class="rulesbody">cnn.com </td>'
soup = BeautifulSoup(myhtml)
print soup.td.string

If you're using BeautifulSoup, you don't need to pass in the second
dictionary. For that matter, you don't need to pass in the first one -
bs.fetch (which is what calling a tag object calls) will treat a
bare string as a request for a class. On the other hand, I don't like
using the callable objecdt shortcut, and prefer spelling out fetch
explicitly. So you'd write:

for incident in bs.fetch('td', 'rulesbody'):
