libtidy
Python binding for the libtidy C library.
Overview
libtidy uses the underlying libtidy C shared library as specified in libtidy.cfg (included libtidy-X.X.* is the default), but there is also ability to specify it programmatically by one of the following ways:
import libtidy
libtidy.config(LIBTIDY="libtidy C shared library absolute path")
# or
libtidy.config(LIBTIDY=None) # included libtidy-X.X.* will be usedAbout original libtidy:

libtidy Introduction
libtidy is the library version of HTML Tidy. In fact, Tidy is libtidy; the console application is a very simple C application that links against libtidy. It’s what powers Tidy, mod-tidy, and countless other applications that perform tidying.
Design factors
libtidy is Thread Safe and Re-entrant. Because there are many uses for HTML Tidy - from content validation, content scraping, conversion to XHTML - it was important to make libtidy run reasonably well within server applications as well as client side.
Requirements
- It is a fully independent package.All necessary things are installed during the normal installation process.
ATTENTION: currently works and tested only for Windows.
