Answer 1

You can use attr=True for this case.

cont = '<nav></nav> <nav breadcrumbs> <a href="">aa</a></nav> <nav></nav>'
soup = BeautifulSoup(cont, 'lxml')  # works with 'html.parser' too.
print(soup.find('nav', breadcrumbs=True))
# which is the same as print(soup.find('nav', {'breadcrumbs': True}))

Output:

<nav breadcrumbs=""> <a href="">aa</a></nav>
