Try this...
import uuid, re
subs={}
while True:
match = re.compile('<(pre|PRE)(.*)/(pre|
pre)>',re.DOTALL).search(text)
if not match: break
u=str(uuid.uuid4())
subs[u]=match.group()
text=text[:match.start()]+u+text[match.end():]
text=text.replace('\n','<br/>')
for key,value in subs.items():
text=text.replace(key,value)
return text
although there may be a better way in BeautifulSoup
