Converting html to text with Python

soup.get_text() outputs what you want:

from bs4 import BeautifulSoup
soup = BeautifulSoup(html)
print(soup.get_text())

output:

Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetuer adipiscing elit. Aenean commodo ligula eget dolor. Aenean massa
Consectetuer adipiscing elit. Some Link Aenean commodo ligula eget dolor. Aenean massa
Aenean massa.Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetuer adipiscing elit. Aenean commodo ligula eget dolor. Aenean massa
Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetuer adipiscing elit. Aenean commodo ligula eget dolor. Aenean massa
Consectetuer adipiscing elit. Aenean commodo ligula eget dolor. Aenean massa

To keep newlines:

print(soup.get_text('\n'))

To be identical to your example, you can replace a newline with two newlines:

soup.get_text().replace('\n','\n\n')

It's possible using python standard html.parser:

from html.parser import HTMLParser

class HTMLFilter(HTMLParser):
    text = ""
    def handle_data(self, data):
        self.text += data

f = HTMLFilter()
f.feed(data)
print(f.text)

You can use a regular expression, but it's not recommended. The following code removes all the HTML tags in your data, giving you the text:

import re

data = """<div class="body"><p><strong></strong></p>
<p><strong></strong>Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetuer adipiscing elit. Aenean commodo ligula eget dolor. Aenean massa</p>
<p>Consectetuer adipiscing elit. <a href="http://example.com/" target="_blank" class="source">Some Link</a> Aenean commodo ligula eget dolor. Aenean massa</p>
<p>Aenean massa.Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetuer adipiscing elit. Aenean commodo ligula eget dolor. Aenean massa</p>
<p>Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetuer adipiscing elit. Aenean commodo ligula eget dolor. Aenean massa</p>
<p>Consectetuer adipiscing elit. Aenean commodo ligula eget dolor. Aenean massa</p></div>"""

data = re.sub(r'<.*?>', '', data)

print(data)

Output

Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetuer adipiscing elit. Aenean commodo ligula eget dolor. Aenean massa
Consectetuer adipiscing elit. Some Link Aenean commodo ligula eget dolor. Aenean massa
Aenean massa.Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetuer adipiscing elit. Aenean commodo ligula eget dolor. Aenean massa
Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetuer adipiscing elit. Aenean commodo ligula eget dolor. Aenean massa
Consectetuer adipiscing elit. Aenean commodo ligula eget dolor. Aenean massa
