Answer 1

theharshest answered the question but here is another way to do the same thing. Also, In your example you have NAME in caps and in your code you have name in lowercase.

s = '
Hello World
'
soup = BeautifulSoup(s)

attributes_dictionary = soup.find('div').attrs
print attributes_dictionary
# prints: {'id': 'get attrs', 'x': 'something', 'class': ['question'], 'name': 'python'}

print attributes_dictionary['class'][0]
# prints: question

print soup.find('div').get_text()
# prints: Hello World
