Why my each word reversing code is not reversing some words?

What I want to do

I am trying to make a program that reverses each words, but not reverses words in tags.
Example input and output:

Input:

Thank you stack overflow

Output:

knahT uoy kcats wolfrevo

If the word is in tags, it should be not reversed. Like this:

Input:

<tag>something

Ouput:

<tag>gnihtemos

My code

I tried to solve this using stack algorithm.

s = input()
def stackprint(st):
    while st != []:
        print(st.pop(), end="")
stack = []
tag = False
for ch in s:
    if ch == '<':
        stackprint(stack)
        tag = True
        print(ch, end="")
    elif ch == '>':
        tag = False
        print(ch, end="")
    elif tag:
        print(ch, end="")
    else:
        if ch == ' ':
            stackprint(stack)
            print(ch, end="")
        else:
            stack.append(ch)
print("".join(stack))

The problem

But, my code is not working if there is only one word or there is no tag. When there is no tag, the last word is not reversed, and when there is only one word, it doesn't get reversed.

The output now:

First

When Input:

<tag>something

Ouput:

<tag>something

^ I need something to be reversed.

Second

Input:

Thank you stack overflow

Ouput:

knahT uoy kcats overflow

^ I need overflow to be reversed.

Important

I need whatever inside < > should be not reversed. If the word is in tags, it should be not reversed like input:

<tag>word<tag>

output:

<tag>drow<tag>

There will be no space between a tag and a word.

Thank you <tag>stack overflow

This seems to work with the examples you have provided:

def revSetence(sentence):
    sentence = sentence + " ";
    flag = False
    final_sentence = ""
    word = ""
    for letter in sentence:
        if letter == "<":
            flag = True
        if letter == ">":
            flag = False
        if letter.isalpha():
            if flag:
                final_sentence = final_sentence + letter
            else:
                word = word + letter
        else:
            if len(word) > 0:
                final_sentence = final_sentence + word[::-1] 
            final_sentence = final_sentence + letter
            word =""
    return final_sentence

As I've mentioned in the comment section, instead of printing the stack with the join method, calling the stackprint method to ensure that the stack is emptied will give you the desired result.

s = input()
def stackprint(st):
    while st != []:
        print(st.pop(), end="")
stack = []
tag = False
for ch in s:
    if ch == '<':
        stackprint(stack)
        tag = True
        print(ch, end="")
    elif ch == '>':
        tag = False
        print(ch, end="")
    elif tag:
        print(ch, end="")
    else:
        if ch == ' ':
            stackprint(stack)
            print(ch, end="")
        else:
            stack.append(ch)
stackprint(stack)
