file_content = open('name.html', 'r').read()

start_index, end_index = file_content.index("<BODY>"), file_content.index("</BODY>")
head , body_content, tail = file_content[:start_index], file_content[start_index:end_index], file_content[end_index:]

new_html = head + body_content.replace("\n", "") + tail
file_content = open('name.html', 'w')
file_content.write(new_html)

This is a little homemade and uses no external libraries: (suppose your file is foo.html)

with open('foo.html') as f:
    html_file = f.readlines()

body_index = []

for line in html_file :
    if 'BODY' in line :
        body_index.append(html_file.index(line))

start, end = body_index

start += 1

for i in range(start, end) :
    if '\n' in html_file[i] :
        html_file[i] = html_file[i].replace('\n', '')

done

Try to get the whole html into a string and do this.

bodystring = htmlstring[htmlstring.index('<BODY>'):htmlstring.index('</BODY>')+7]
htmlstring = htmlstring.replace(bodystring, bodystring.replace('\n',''))
