Removing HTML until a certain point in a file

The problem is pretty simple:
I have a few thousand HTML files that I'd like to loop through and remove everything until the second instance of this:

<!--------------------------------------------------------->

I know how to load files, write loops, etc., in Python, but all my attempts to parse the files as text are failing.

Your can try split the string, and get the stuff after the second occurrence.

source = "YOUR HTML FILE CONTENT"
print source.split('<!--------------------------------------------------------->')[2:]
