HTML to RTF string using Python

Question

I am trying to find a way to convert HTML text to RTF string. Is there any libraries that does this job? I get html content dynamically in my project and need it to be rendered in RTF format. I am using HTML parser to convert HTML text to normal string and then have trying to use PyRTF for conversion to RTF format.

Can anyone suggest me a better way to do this?

RTF seems a dicey format to convert from/to. I've tried cutting and pasting among applications on Mac OS X, for example, where RTF is something of a lingua franca. Some of those apps are Microsoft apps, others are not. Even basic formatting information like font size, font face, line spacing, and list styling is jumbled when copying from one ostensibly RTF-speaking app to another.
