Answer 1

I find Beautiful Soup very efficient tool so keep learning it :-) It is able to parse a page with invalid markup so it should be able to handle the page you refer. You may want to use command BeautifulSoup(html).prettify() command if you want to get a valid reformatted page source with valid markup.

As for your question, the result of your first soup.findAll(...) command is also a Beautiful Soup object and you can make a second search in it, like this:

table_soup = soup.findAll('table' ,attrs={'class':'bp_ergebnis_tab_info'})
your_sample_text = table_soup.find("td").renderContents().strip()

print your_sample_text
