Suppose i have 

```
text = """ <a href = 'http://www.crummy.com/software'>Hello There</a>"""

```

I want to replace the a hrefs and /a with just put a space (" "). In its place. BTW its a BeautifulSoup.BeautifulSoup Class. So normal .replace wouldn't work.

I want text to be just 

```
""" Hello There """

```

Notice the space after and before "Hello There".
