pyparsing

The opposite may be achieved using pyparsing as follows:

from pyparsing import Suppress, replaceWith, makeHTMLTags, SkipTo
#...
removeText = replaceWith("")
scriptOpen, scriptClose = makeHTMLTags("script")
scriptBody = scriptOpen + SkipTo(scriptClose) + scriptClose
scriptBody.setParseAction(removeText)
data = (scriptBody).transformString(data)

How could I keep the contents of the tag "table"?
