Python can *too* import from a txt file (even if it contains HTML):
f = open("myfile.html", "r")
x = f.read()
print x
f.close()
It even retains formatting (as far as I can tell)...

To be considered stupid and to be told so is more painful than being
called gluttonous, mendacious, violent, lascivious, lazy, cowardly:
every weakness, every vice, has found its defenders, its rhetoric, its
ennoblement and exaltation, but stupidity hasn't. - Primo Levi
