Hi -- sorry it took a couple of days to reply (i'm out of town).
The pydoc module contains a function for precisely this purpose --
just run the string through pydoc.plain().

    % pydoc pydoc.plain
    Python Library Documentation: function plain in pydoc

    plain(text)
        Remove boldface formatting from text.
