Answer 1

You'll be wanting to use beautifulsoup's unwrap() for this.

import bs4
soup1 = bs4.BeautifulSoup(htm1, 'html.parser')
for match in soup1.findAll('span'):
    match.unwrap()
print soup1

Answer 2

I wrote this function if it can help :

def deleteBalise(string):
    for i in range(2):
        # identifying  <
        rankBegin = 0
        for carac in string:
            if carac == '<':
                break
            rankBegin += 1
        # identifying  >
        rankEnd = 0
        for carac in string:
            if carac == '>':
                break
            rankEnd += 1
        stringToReplace = string[rankBegin:rankEnd+1]
        string = string.replace(stringToReplace,'')
    return string

You can also use replace_with to remove span tags:

from bs4 import BeautifulSoup
soup = BeautifulSoup(html)
for span_tag in soup.findAll('span'):
    span_tag.replace_with('')
print(soup)
