PyTidyLib_ is a Python package that wraps the HTML Tidy_ library. This
allows you, from Python code, to "fix" invalid (X)HTML markup. Some of the
library's many capabilities include:

Clean up unclosed tags and unescaped characters such as ampersands
Output HTML 4 or XHTML, strict or transitional, and add missing doctypes
Convert named entities to numeric entities, which can then be used in XML
documents without an HTML doctype.
Clean up HTML from programs such as Word (to an extent)
Indent the output, including proper (i.e. no) indenting for pre elements,
which some (X)HTML indenting code overlooks.

Small example of use
The following code cleans up an invalid HTML document and sets an option::
from tidylib import tidy_document
document, errors = tidy_document('''<p>fõo <img src="bar.jpg">''',
  options={'numeric-entities':1})
print document
print errors
