I have a certain fondness for the first over-100-lines module I wrote for Python, which eventually resulted in: http://aspn.activestate.com/ASPN/Cookbook/Python/Recipe/52305 and while I haven't checked its descendant: http://aspn.activestate.com/ASPN/Cookbook/Python/Recipe/465508 it may have important enhancements. There are also a couple of variations on the web that are specialized for XML and HTML (search for yaptu), but the generic one should work better for RTF and TXT.
