Python: BeautifulSoup - get an attribute value based on the name attribute

Question

I want to print an attribute value based on its name, take for example

I want to do something

Answer 1

6 years late to the party but I've been searching for how to extract an html element's tag attribute value, so for:

Ayr

I want "addressLocality". I kept being directed back here, but the answers didn't really solve my problem.

How I managed to do it eventually:

>>> from bs4 import BeautifulSoup as bs

>>> soup = bs('Ayr', 'html.parser')
>>> my_attributes = soup.find().attrs
>>> my_attributes
{u'property': u'addressLocality'}

As it's a dict, you can then also use keys and 'values'

>>> my_attributes.keys()
[u'property']
>>> my_attributes.values()
[u'addressLocality']

Hopefully it helps someone else!
