Beautiful Soup Find - get just the text

Question

I had this bit of code spitting out just the price as a string (125.01), but I must have changed something because now it prints the whole line with the html tags and everything

Answer 1

You have to call the get_text() method of your price variable:

print(price.get_text())

Answer 2

You use get_text() on your soup tag.

print(price.get_text())

Answer 3

Sometimes I've found that .text or .get_text() return an empty string and I have to use:

print(price.contents[0])

I think it has to do with unicode vs bytes being returned.
