Hi all,

Just wondering if anyone knows how to get the text between the tags of
the following Tag object?

<span class="nametext">Hello</span>

Cheers

Hi all,

Just wondering if anyone knows how to get the text between the tags of
the following Tag object?

<span class="nametext">Hello</span>

Are you looking for a way to search for tag *and* attributes? What about
this::

In [12]: soup.find('span', {'class': 'nametext'}).contents
Out[12]: [u'Hello']
