Django provides an utility function to remove HTML tags:

from django.utils.html import strip_tags

my_string = '<div>Hello, world</div>'
my_string = strip_tags(my_string)
print(my_string)
# Result will be "Hello, world" without the <div> elements

This function used to be unsafe on older Django version (before 1.7) but nowadays it is completely safe to use it. Here is an article that reviewed this issue when it was relevant.
